U.S. State, Territorial, and County Stay-At-Home Orders: March 15-May 5 by County by Day

State, territorial, and county executive orders, administrative orders, resolutions, and proclamations are collected from government websites and cataloged and coded using Microsoft Excel by one coder with one or more additional coders conducting quality assurance. Data were collected to determine when individuals in states, territories, and counties were subject to executive orders, administrative orders, resolutions, and proclamations for COVID-19 that require or recommend people stay in their homes. These data are derived from the publicly available state, territorial, and county executive orders, administrative orders, resolutions, and proclamations (“orders”) for COVID-19 that expressly require or recommend individuals stay at home found by the CDC, COVID-19 Community Intervention and At-Risk Task Force, Monitoring and Evaluation Team & CDC, Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Support, Public Health Law Program from March 15 through May 5, 2020. These data will be updated as new orders are collected. Any orders not available through publicly accessible websites are not included in these data. Only official copies of the documents or, where official copies were unavailable, official press releases from government websites describing requirements were coded; news media reports on restrictions were excluded. Recommendations not included in an order are not included in these data. These data do not include mandatory business closures, curfews, or limitations on public or private gatherings. These data do not necessarily represent an official position of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

州、领地及县级行政命令、行政指令、决议和公告均从政府网站收集，并由一名编码员使用Microsoft Excel进行编目和编码，同时由一名或多名额外编码员开展质量保证工作。收集这些数据旨在确定各州、领地及县级辖区内的个人何时需遵守针对COVID-19的、要求或建议民众居家的行政命令、行政指令、决议和公告。这些数据来源于2020年3月15日至5月5日期间，由疾病控制与预防中心（Centers for Disease Control and Prevention，简称CDC）、COVID-19社区干预与高危人群工作组、监测与评估团队，以及CDC下属州、部落、地方及领地支持中心公共卫生法律项目发现的、公开可获取的州、领地及县级COVID-19相关行政命令、行政指令、决议和公告（以下简称“命令”）——这些命令明确要求或建议个人居家。随着新命令的收集，这些数据将持续更新。未通过公开可访问网站获取的命令不纳入本数据集。仅对文件的官方副本进行编码；若官方副本无法获取，则编码政府网站上描述相关要求的官方新闻稿；有关限制措施的新闻媒体报道均被排除在外。未包含在命令中的建议不纳入本数据集。这些数据不一定代表疾病控制与预防中心的官方立场。
