Epidemiology

Information related to the COVID-19 infections for each date-region pair.

URL

This table can be found at the following URLs depending on the choice of format:

Schema

Name Type Description Example
date string ISO 8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD) of the datapoint 2020-03-30
key string Unique string identifying the region CN_HB
new_confirmed1 integer Count of new cases confirmed after positive test on this date 34
new_deceased1 integer Count of new deaths from a positive COVID-19 case on this date 2
new_recovered1 integer Count of new recoveries from a positive COVID-19 case on this date 13
new_tested2 integer Count of new COVID-19 tests performed on this date 13
total_confirmed3 integer Cumulative sum of cases confirmed after positive test to date 6447
total_deceased3 integer Cumulative sum of deaths from a positive COVID-19 case to date 133
total_tested2,3 integer Cumulative sum of COVID-19 tests performed to date 133

1Values can be negative, typically indicating a correction or an adjustment in the way they were measured. For example, a case might have been incorrectly flagged as recovered one date so it will be subtracted from the following date.
2When the reporting authority makes a distinction between PCR and antibody testing, only PCR tests are reported here.
3Total count will not always amount to the sum of daily counts, because many authorities make changes to criteria for counting cases, but not always make adjustments to the data. There is also potential missing data. All of that makes the total counts drift away from the sum of all daily counts over time, which is why the cumulative values, if reported, are kept in a separate column.
