In a color-coded interactive map designed to assess risk in terms of how severely the coronavirus is spreading in each state, Hawaii appears green, meaning it is considered to be “on track” for containing the virus.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb Developed by Harvard Global Health Institute in collaboration with CovidActNow, Covid-Local, and several other sources, the map categorizes each state’s risk level based on the number of new daily cases per 1oo,ooo people. At the time this article was published, Hawaii was one of only two states in the country to appear green on the map—the other was Vermont. In order to be categorized as such, a state’s most recent seven-day average of new cases per day per 100,000 people must be less than one. Hawaii’s was 0.7 while Vermont’s was 1, though the latter is still considered to be on track to contain the virus and was shaded green despite its average technically not being less than one.
