The state Department of Health reported 487 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, continuing the trend of low case counts on Mondays and the fewest cases reported in a single day since mid-October.

Gating criteria
The number of new cases on a seven-day rolling average reached 652 as of Jan. 26, the lowest number since Oct. 18. This number lags by six days because some labs take longer to process and report results to the state.
The number of tests conducted on a seven-day rolling average was 13,208 as of Jan. 28.
The rate of spread was 0.84 as of Jan. 31, The rate of spread is the number of people someone with COVID-19 will spread the disease to, on average. Anything under 1.0 means the number of cases is dropping.
