    ReOpen DC Positivity

    Metadata Updated: March 28, 2025

    In areas with high levels of testing, a decreasing positivity rate indicates that the levels of virus circulating in the District are falling. The positivity rate is calculated among DC-residents, and includes repeat testing. In a given day, the data is unique by person, but includes persons who test on multiple days. This may include DC-residents who are tested by providers outside of DC. Inadequate samples (not-tested) or results without a positive/negative are excluded. Both diagnostic and screening tests are included, serological testing is excluded. This chart may change as lab reporting undergoes quality review. This data is used to calculate the Reopening DC metric with a goal of 7 consecutive days of test postivity rate below 20% for Phase 1 and below 15% for Phase 2. These goals are based on CDC guidance. Data are subject to change on a daily basis and reported at a 8-day lag for proper analysis.Data is updated Monday-Friday.
