U.S. State and Territorial Stay-At-Home Orders: March 15, 2020 – August 15, 2021 by County by Day

State and territorial 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 and territories were subject to executive orders, administrative orders, resolutions, and proclamations for COVID-19 that require or recommend people stay in their homes. Data consists exclusively of state and territorial orders, many of which apply to specific counties within their respective state or territory; therefore, data is broken down to the county level.

These data are derived from the publicly available state and territorial 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, 2020 through August 15, 2021. 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.

本数据集从官方政府网站采集各州及领地的行政命令、执行命令、决议与公告，由一名编码员使用Microsoft Excel完成分类编码，并配备一名或多名额外编码员开展质量核验工作。

本次数据采集旨在明确各州及领地民众何时需遵守针对COVID-19的行政命令、执行命令、决议与公告——此类命令要求或建议民众居家隔离。数据集仅涵盖各州及领地发布的相关命令，其中多数仅适用于对应州或领地内的特定郡县，因此数据已细化至郡县层级。

本数据集源自2020年3月15日至2021年8月15日期间，由美国疾病控制与预防中心（Centers for Disease Control and Prevention，CDC）、COVID-19社区干预与高风险专项工作组、监测与评估团队及CDC下属州、部落、地方及领地支持中心公共卫生法律项目所梳理的公开可获取的各州及领地针对COVID-19发布的、明确要求或建议民众居家的行政命令、执行命令、决议与公告（以下统称“orders”）。本数据集将随新采集到的命令持续更新。所有无法通过公开渠道获取的命令均未纳入本数据集。仅对官方文件副本进行编码；若无法获取官方副本，则编码政府官网发布的描述相关要求的官方新闻稿，有关管控措施的新闻媒体报道均不予纳入。未收录至命令文本中的居家建议也不会被纳入本数据集。本数据集不包含强制性商业停业、宵禁或对公私集会的限制措施。本数据集不一定代表美国疾病控制与预防中心的官方立场。
