To prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed, states should focus on preventing the spread of COVID-19 at high-risk sites, such as nursing homes, and in high-risk localities, the COVID-19 Policy Alliance — a group of experts brought together by two professors at the MIT Sloan School of Management — said in a presentation released Tuesday.
The Alliance also put online a set of data analytic tools to enable states to identify the highest risk facilities and localities — those with clusters of individuals over 65 or with relevant health issues.
