Some of the criteria for opening a region are pretty bad. A trend down in hospitalizations or deaths can be wildly favorable but if you have a single small 1 day blip up you have to start over to get to 14 straight days. I'd love know who the statistical wizard was that came up with that. At least use a 14 day moving average. There are going to be occasional random variations in things like this. As long as the trend is improving sharply a single day of data can be almost meaningless.
