Is MODZCTA by location of test or residence of person?

JimHaughwout opened this issue · comments

Is your data by MODZCTA (cases, hospitalizations, etc.) based on where the sample was collected or where the person who was tested lives? If I have a case for MODZCTA of 10023 does this mean the sample was collected at a site in this location or does it mean the person who was tested provided a residential address that is based in 10023?

Hi, thanks for asking. The geographic data is by location of residence, not testing or treatment. More info in our documentation.
