COVID-19 U.S. State Policy Database, 2020-2022

The COVID-19 U.S. State Policy Database tracks state policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was created by researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health and includes data on closures, shelter-in-place orders, housing protections, changes to Medicaid and SNAP, physical distancing closures, reopening, and more. Policies included are state-wide directives or mandates, not guidance or recommendations. In order for a policy to be included, it must have applied to the entire state.
