High COVID-19 Mortality Risk in Pennsylvania's Rural Counties
From the Document: "COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] cases in Pennsylvania have been concentrated in eastern urban counties this far (counties with relatively low prevalence of the chronic health conditions that increase risk of death from COVID-19). However, the 14-day incident rate has recently begun increasing in several rural counties that have high prevalence of several chronic health conditions that increase risk of severe complications and death from COVID-19. Should COVID-19 continue to spread, several of PA's rural counties are at risk of high rates of hospitalization and death. [...] As all counties in The Commonwealth reach the final stage of reopening, and case counts continue to grow in places that were relatively unaffected during the early stage of the pandemic, local representatives and stakeholders should keep a watchful eye on these high-risk rural counties with severe COVID-19 health vulnerabilities."

Rural Ohio Faces High Health Risk During the COVID-19 Pandemic
From the Document: "Ohio was one of the first states to implement interventions to reduce community spread during the first wave of the pandemic. As the state now experiences a new surge in cases, metro counties are home to some of the highest rates. However, the level of health and mortality risk posed by COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] is highest in the most rural counties. Data from our Index of Severe Health Risk for Ohio Counties show that 46% of Ohio's small nonmetro counties face high COVID-19 mortality risk, compared to just 18% of metro and large nonmetro counties. Small nonmetro counties have larger shares of older adults and higher prevalence of several chronic health conditions that increase risk of severe complications or death should one contract COVID-19 (e.g. respiratory problems, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and obesity). [...] Leaders of several rural Ohio counties have pushed back against the state's physical distancing mandates. Many of these counties are at risk of experiencing high rates of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths should there be an outbreak, so they should support strong actions to prevent community spread."

COVID-19 Cases Are Clustered in Large Urban Hubs, but Rural Areas Surrounding Those Hubs Are Also Increasingly Affected
From the Document: "Confirmed cases of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] are not evenly distributed across the U.S. Thus far, confirmed cases are mainly clustered in the Mid-Atlantic region, Florida, along the West Coast, and in large central cities throughout the middle of the U.S. Given larger populations, it is no surprise that there are more cases in the most urban parts of the U.S., particularly those with large airport hubs, but some nonmetropolitan counties are also being affected. [...] Dense populations and heavy traffic contribute in important ways to the spread of infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Physical distancing can help flatten the curve of this pandemic. Even though there are fewer confirmed cases in rural areas right now, COVID-19 cases will soon begin increasing in rural areas. Mortality rates could be higher in rural areas given their older and sicker population composition and their more limited capacity for treating cases."

New York State's Rural Counties Have Higher COVID-19 Mortality Risk
From the Document: "Although New York State's rural counties have experienced lower rates of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] infection and mortality thus far than their urban counterparts(thanks in large part to their lower population density), several of NY's rural counties are at risk of high COVID-19 fatality rates should infections start to spread. [...] As the state's regions continue to move through the various phases of reopening businesses and recreation activities, policymakers and residents should be mindful of the underlying health vulnerabilities and the higher COVID-19 mortality risk in several of NY's rural counties."
