Covid Act Now (CAN) (https://covidactnow.org/about) is the COVID-focused initiative of the Act Now Coalition, whose COVID data and risk assessment include every U.S. State, 380+ metros, 3,100+ counties, and two U.S. territories. So far, CAN have served over 15m website users since the beginning of the pandemic, and kept more than 200k subscribers up to date on COVID news and alerts enabling informed decisions for individuals to cope with the pandemic. CAN has worked with more than 100 federal, state, and county officials as well as numerous multinational corporations and NGOs to develop data-driven COVID responses. CAN provides public access to the latest epidemiological data related to COVID-19, where the data comes from official sources including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The New York Times, and official state and county dashboards. They provide an API for accessing the data, along with data definitions for all fields and an overview of how to query data for states, counties, or metros. CAN’s data are
updated daily around noon Eastern Time, where updates reflect the latest available data from the official sources stated above.

In addition to the epidemiological data provided by CAN API, participants are welcome to
consider additional data (such as Google mobility data) that may be helpful in more accurate and reliable prediction of future trends.
