The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the virus severeacute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has impacted over 200countries leading to hospitalizations and deaths of millions of people. Publichealth interventions, such as risk estimators, can reduce the spread ofpandemics and epidemics through influencing behavior, which impacts risk ofexposure and infection. Current publicly available COVID-19 risk estimationtools have had variable effectiveness during the pandemic due to theirdependency on rapidly evolving factors such as community transmission levelsand variants. There has also been confusion surrounding certain personalprotective strategies such as risk reduction by mask-wearing and vaccination.In order to create a simple easy-to-use tool for estimating differentindividual risks associated with carrying out daily-life activity, we developedCOVID-19 Activity Risk Calculator (CovARC). CovARC is a gamified public healthintervention as users can "play with" how different risks associated withCOVID-19 can change depending on several different factors when carrying outroutine daily activities. Empowering the public to make informed, data-drivendecisions about safely engaging in activities may help to reduce COVID-19levels in the community. In this study, we demonstrate a streamlined, scalableand accurate COVID-19 risk calculation system. Our study also demonstrates thequantitative impact of vaccination and mask-wearing during periods of high casecounts. Validation of this impact could inform and support policy decisionsregarding case thresholds for mask mandates, and other public healthinterventions.
