Social Distancing Policy Intensity in U.S. States

Based on a review of policies from a 12-state sample (New York, Washington, California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Florida, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Texas), we developed a social distancing intensity framework consisting of 16 domains and intensity scales of 0-5 for each domain. Two Excel files are included. One file includes the policy coding data using the 16 domain framework and interpretation notes. The other Excel file is a longitudinal time series showing the daily intensity per domain per state.
