New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut are the only three states in the nation making progress in the fight against COVID-19, according to an analysis by Vox.

The report lays out various basic criteria for states to be safe to open. With these metrics, states can gauge if they have repressed the coronavirus while building the capacity to contain future outbreaks should they come. In other words, the benchmarks show how ready states are for the next phase of the fight.

So far, most states are not there. As of July 22, just New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut met four or five of the goals, which demonstrates strong progress. Twenty-two states and Washington, DC, hit two or three of the benchmarks. The other 25 achieved zero or one.

The report cautions that even the states that have made the most progress aren’t safe to fully reopen. Without a vaccine or similar treatment, the threat of the coronavirus is still out there. Especially in states that suffered big outbreaks, even a lot of progress doesn’t mean all the underlying problems that led to an epidemic are gone.

New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut joined together in April as part of a regional advisory council to help coordinate the response to COVID-19 and the reopening of business in the Northeast.
