Methodology:
To determine federal funding to states per COVID-19 case, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed data on the allocation of funding from the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, and the Paycheck Protection program and Health Care Enhancement Act, as well as COVID-19 case counts from state and local health departments.
