Researchers from Harvard, Stanford, the University of Chicago, and Berkeley created a methodology for deciding which locations in a city to re-open and which to keep closed. The authors utilized a wide variety of data sources to build their models, including electronic medical records from the COVID-19 Research Database. After its completion, the model was then tested across three different cities: Chicago, Sacramento, and New York.
