The New York Times is releasing a series of data files with cumulative counts of coronavirus cases in the United States, at the state and county level, over time. We are compiling this time series data from state and local governments and health departments in an attempt to provide a complete record of the ongoing outbreak.

Since late January, The Times has tracked cases of coronavirus in real time as they were identified after testing. Because of the widespread shortage of testing, however, the data is necessarily limited in the picture it presents of the outbreak.

We have used this data to power our maps and reporting tracking the outbreak, and it is now being made available to the public in response to requests from researchers, scientists and government officials who would like access to the data to better understand the outbreak.

The data begins with the first reported coronavirus case in Washington State on Jan. 21, 2020. We will publish regular updates to the data in this repository.

Updates

• Notice of data discontinuation: Since the start of the pandemic, AP has reported case and death counts from data provided by Johns Hopkins University. Johns Hopkins University has announced that they will stop their daily data collection efforts after March 10. As Johns Hopkins stops providing data, the AP will also stop collecting daily numbers for COVID cases and deaths. The HHS and CDC now collect and visualize key metrics for the pandemic. AP advises using those resources when reporting on the pandemic going forward.

  • CDC Weekly case and death counts (national and state level)
  • CDC County level cases and deaths
  • HHS New hospital admissions
  • CDC NowCast COVID variant proportions (national and regional level)

• April 9, 2020

  • The population estimate data for New York County, NY has been updated to include all five New York City counties (Kings County, Queens County, Bronx County, Richmond County and New York County). This has been done to match the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 data, which aggregates counts for the five New York City counties to New York County.

• April 20, 2020

  • Johns Hopkins death totals in the US now include confirmed and probable deaths in accordance with CDC guidelines as of April 14. One significant result of this change was an increase of more than 3,700 deaths in the New York City count. This change will likely result in increases for death counts elsewhere as well. The AP does not alter the Johns Hopkins source data, so probable deaths are included in this dataset as well.

• April 29, 2020

  • The AP is now providing timeseries data for counts of COVID-19 cases and deaths. The raw counts are provided here unaltered, along with a population column with Census ACS-5 estimates and calculated daily case and death rates per 100,000 people. Please read the updated caveats section for more information.

• September 1st, 2020

  • Johns Hopkins is now providing counts for the five New York City counties individually.

• February 12, 2021

  • The Ohio Department of Health recently announced that as many as 4,000 COVID-19 deaths may have been underreported through the state’s reporting system, and that the "daily reported death counts will be high for a two to three-day period."
  • Because deaths data will be anomalous for consecutive days, we have chosen to freeze Ohio's rolling average for daily deaths at the last valid measure until Johns Hopkins is able to back-distribute the data. The raw daily death counts, as reported by Johns Hopkins and including the backlogged death data, will still be present in the new_deaths column.

• February 16, 2021

  - Johns Hopkins has reconciled Ohio's historical deaths data with the state.

  Overview

The AP is using data collected by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering as our source for outbreak caseloads and death counts for the United States and globally.

The Hopkins data is available at the county level in the United States. The AP has paired this data with population figures and county rural/urban designations, and has calculated caseload and death rates per 100,000 people. Be aware that caseloads may reflect the availability of tests -- and the ability to turn around test results quickly -- rather than actual disease spread or true infection rates.

This data is from the Hopkins dashboard that is updated regularly throughout the day. Like all organizations dealing with data, Hopkins is constantly refining and cleaning up their feed, so there may be brief moments where data does not appear correctly. At this link, you’ll find the Hopkins daily data reports, and a clean version of their feed.

The AP is updating this dataset hourly at 45 minutes past the hour.

As of May 2, 2023, the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) had spread to almost every country in the world, and more than 6.86 million people had died after contracting the respiratory virus. Over 1.16 million of these deaths occurred in the United States.

Waves of infections Almost every country and territory worldwide have been affected by the COVID-19 disease. At the end of 2021 the virus was once again circulating at very high rates, even in countries with relatively high vaccination rates such as the United States and Germany. As rates of new infections increased, some countries in Europe, like Germany and Austria, tightened restrictions once again, specifically targeting those who were not yet vaccinated. However, by spring 2022, rates of new infections had decreased in many countries and restrictions were once again lifted.

What are the symptoms of the virus? It can take up to 14 days for symptoms of the illness to start being noticed. The most commonly reported symptoms are a fever and a dry cough, leading to shortness of breath. The early symptoms are similar to other common viruses such as the common cold and flu. These illnesses spread more during cold months, but there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that temperature impacts the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Medical advice should be sought if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.

ImportanceGovernments have introduced non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) in response to the pandemic outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). While NPIs aim at preventing fatalities related to COVID-19, the previous literature on their efficacy has focused on infections and on data of the first half of 2020. Still, findings of early NPI studies may be subject to underreporting and missing timeliness of reporting of cases. Moreover, the low variation in treatment timing during the first wave makes identification of robust treatment effects difficult.ObjectiveWe enhance the literature on the effectiveness of NPIs with respect to the period, the number of countries, and the analytical approach.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsTo circumvent problems of reporting and treatment variation, we analyse data on daily confirmed COVID-19-related deaths per capita from Our World in Data, and on 10 different NPIs from the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) for 169 countries from 1st July 2020 to 1st September 2021. To identify the causal effects of introducing NPIs on COVID-19-related fatalities, we apply the generalized synthetic control (GSC) method to each NPI, while controlling for the remaining NPIs, weather conditions, vaccinations, and NPI-residualized COVID-19 cases. This mitigates the influence of selection into treatment and allows to model flexible post-treatment trajectories.ResultsWe do not find substantial and consistent COVID-19-related fatality-reducing effects of any NPI under investigation. We see a tentative change in the trend of COVID-19-related deaths around 30 days after strict stay-at-home rules and to a slighter extent after workplace closings have been implemented. As a proof of concept, our model is able to identify a fatality-reducing effect of COVID-19 vaccinations. Furthermore, our results are robust with respect to various crucial sensitivity checks.ConclusionOur results demonstrate that many implemented NPIs may not have exerted a significant COVID-19-related fatality-reducing effect. However, NPIs might have contributed to mitigate COVID-19-related fatalities by preventing exponential growth in deaths. Moreover, vaccinations were effective in reducing COVID-19-related deaths.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments worldwide have implemented social distancing policies with different levels of both enforcement and compliance. We conducted an interrupted time series analysis to estimate the impact of lockdowns on reducing the number of cases and deaths due to COVID-19 in Brazil. Official daily data was collected for four city capitals before and after their respective policies interventions based on a 14 days observation window. We estimated a segmented linear regression to evaluate the effectiveness of lockdown measures on COVID-19 incidence and mortality. The initial number of new cases and new deaths had a positive trend prior to policy change. After lockdown, a statistically significant decrease in new confirmed cases was found in all state capitals. We also found evidence that lockdown measures were likely to reverse the trend of new daily deaths due to COVID-19. In São Luís, we observed a reduction of 37.85% while in Fortaleza the decrease was 33.4% on the average difference in daily deaths if the lockdown had not been implemented. Similarly, the intervention diminished mortality in Recife by 21.76% and Belém by 16.77%. Social distancing policies can be useful tools in flattening the epidemic curve.

First reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, now more than 846,200 confirmed cases of COVID-19 are spread across 187 countries worldwide. The US and several countries in Europe such as Italy, Spain, and Belgium have continued to see a decrease in daily cases. Russia, Brazil, and Latin American countries are seeing increasing trends. India has also seen an increase in the number of new cases reported despite strict distancing measures taken early on.
Special populations analysis covered in the report include the following:
COVID-19 in children may result in systemic multisystem syndrome with severe outcomes.
Childhood routine vaccination rates drop during pandemic.
COVID-19’s impact in pregnant women unclear, though most cases are asymptomatic.
The COVID-19 pandemic could cause an increase in the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Complications of opioid addiction will be challenging for the management of disease during the COVID-19 pandemic. Read More

The seven-day average number of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. decreased significantly from April to July 2020, but it remained higher than in other countries. Seven-day rolling averages are used to adjust for administrative delays in the reporting of deaths by authorities, commonly over weekends.

The challenges of tracking and reporting the disease The U.S. confirmed its first coronavirus case in mid-January 2020 – the virus was detected in a passenger who arrived in Seattle from China. Since that first case, around 945 people have died every day from COVID-19 in the United States as of August 23, 2020. In total, the U.S. has recorded more coronavirus deaths than any other country worldwide. Accurately tracking the number of COVID-19 deaths has proved complicated, with countries having different rules for what deaths to include in their official figures. Some nations have even changed which deaths they can attribute to the disease during the pandemic.

Young people urged to act responsibly Between January and May 2020, case fatality rates among COVID-19 patients in the United States increased with age, highlighting the particular risks faced by the elderly. However, COVID-19 is not only a disease that affects older adults. Surges in the number of new cases throughout July 2020 were blamed on young people. The World Health Organization has urged young people not to become complacent, reminding them to maintain social distancing guidelines and take precautions to protect themselves and others.

The global COVID-19 treatment market stood at USD 3,375 billion in 2025 and is projected to decline at a CAGR of -59.3% from 2025 to 2033. The decline can be attributed to the decreasing number of COVID-19 cases, the availability of vaccines, and the development of effective treatments. As a result, governments are reducing spending on COVID-19 treatments, leading to a decrease in market size. The key drivers of the market include a high prevalence of COVID-19, the rising geriatric population, ongoing research and development, government initiatives, and increasing awareness about the disease. The major trends shaping the market include the adoption of advanced technologies, the integration of AI and machine learning, and the increasing focus on personalized medicine. However, the market faces challenges such as the high cost of treatment, the lack of access to care in developing countries, and the emergence of new variants of COVID-19.

BackgroundThe global COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing, and cross-country and cross-period variation in COVID-19 age-adjusted case fatality rates (CFRs) has not been clarified. Here, we aimed to identify the country-specific effects of booster vaccination and other features that may affect heterogeneity in age-adjusted CFRs with a worldwide scope, and to predict the benefit of increasing booster vaccination rate on future CFR.MethodCross-temporal and cross-country variations in CFR were identified in 32 countries using the latest available database, with multi-feature (vaccination coverage, demographic characteristics, disease burden, behavioral risks, environmental risks, health services and trust) using Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). After that, country-specific risk features that affect age-adjusted CFRs were identified. The benefit of booster on age-adjusted CFR was simulated by increasing booster vaccination by 1–30% in each country.ResultsOverall COVID-19 age-adjusted CFRs across 32 countries ranged from 110 deaths per 100,000 cases to 5,112 deaths per 100,000 cases from February 4, 2020 to Jan 31, 2022, which were divided into countries with age-adjusted CFRs higher than the crude CFRs and countries with age-adjusted CFRs lower than the crude CFRs (n = 9 and n = 23) when compared with the crude CFR. The effect of booster vaccination on age-adjusted CFRs becomes more important from Alpha to Omicron period (importance scores: 0.03–0.23). The Omicron period model showed that the key risk factors for countries with higher age-adjusted CFR than crude CFR are low GDP per capita and low booster vaccination rates, while the key risk factors for countries with higher age-adjusted CFR than crude CFR were high dietary risks and low physical activity. Increasing booster vaccination rates by 7% would reduce CFRs in all countries with age-adjusted CFRs higher than the crude CFRs.ConclusionBooster vaccination still plays an important role in reducing age-adjusted CFRs, while there are multidimensional concurrent risk factors and precise joint intervention strategies and preparations based on country-specific risks are also essential.

COVID-19 Testing Kits Market Size And Forecast

COVID-19 Testing Kits Market size was valued at USD 2668.8 Million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 7313.2 Million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 13.06% from 2026 to 2032.

COVID-19 Testing Kits Market Drivers

Global pandemic: The widespread outbreak of COVID-19 created a massive demand for rapid and accurate testing kits to identify infected individuals and contain the virus.

Government initiatives: Governments worldwide implemented widespread testing programs to track the spread of the virus, monitor public health, and inform policy decisions.

Public health concerns: Individuals and businesses sought testing to mitigate the risk of infection and ensure safety.

COVID-19 Testing Kits Market Restraints

Decreasing prevalence: With declining COVID-19 cases, the need for widespread testing is diminishing.

The global market for Hydroxychloroquine specifically for COVID-19 treatment experienced significant growth during the initial phases of the pandemic (2019-2024), driven by widespread adoption despite limited clinical evidence of efficacy. While the initial surge in demand was substantial, the market has since consolidated significantly due to evolving treatment protocols and the availability of more effective antiviral medications and vaccines. Let's assume, for illustrative purposes, a 2024 market size of $500 million. Considering the decline in demand and a conservative estimated CAGR of -5% for the forecast period (2025-2033), reflecting reduced reliance on Hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 treatment, the market size is projected to decrease gradually. This contraction is primarily attributed to the decreased prevalence of severe COVID-19 cases globally and the shift towards proven, effective therapies. The pharmaceutical companies listed (Sanofi, Novartis, etc.) played a significant role in the initial supply, although many likely redirected resources as the market shifted. Regional distribution mirrored global trends, with North America and Europe initially showing higher demand followed by a subsequent reduction as treatment strategies evolved. The continued market presence is likely to be maintained due to its ongoing use in other therapeutic indications (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus). The segmented market, categorized by dosage form (Tablet, Injection) and patient type (Mild, Critically Ill), reflects different treatment pathways and the associated varying demand. While the initial surge focused on both forms and patient types, the longer-term market is expected to be predominantly driven by its off-label use in other conditions. The ongoing research on repurposing Hydroxychloroquine for other applications could potentially influence future market growth, but it is critical to acknowledge that its role in COVID-19 treatment is significantly diminished. Therefore, projected market size for 2033 is estimated to be around $300 million. This reflects the decrease in demand, and highlights that while the initial market was substantial, the longer-term outlook is considerably smaller, and characterized by a niche application for specific patient groups.

The number of daily new COVID-19 cases started to decline across Europe from the start of April 2020. However, infections continued to increase in the Americas, and the World Health Organization (WHO) identified the region as the new epicenter of the pandemic toward the end of May 2020.

Soaring demand for critical health care supplies Health systems around the world have been overwhelmed because of the coronavirus. Hospitals have reached capacity and health workers have been redirected to care for critical COVID-19 patients. Demand for test kits, respirators, and personal protective equipment (PPE) has led to global shortages of life-saving supplies. The WHO had shipped 131 million units of medical PPE – face masks, goggles, gloves, and gowns – to nearly 150 countries as of August 10, 2020.

Russia claim vaccine prestige Since the start of the pandemic, there has been an urgent need to accelerate the development of COVID-19 treatments. As of August 13, 2020, there are 29 candidate vaccines under clinical evaluation around the world, according to the WHO. One of those vaccines is being developed by the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology in Moscow. Russian President Vladimir Putin granted the vaccine regulatory approval in mid-August, and it is expected to enter civilian circulation in January 2021.

Test Type Analysis

The COVID-19 diagnostic testing market is segmented into molecular tests, antigen tests, and antibody tests. Molecular tests, such as RT-PCR, remain the gold standard due to their high accuracy and reliability. These tests detect the virus's genetic material and are widely used in hospital and laboratory settings. Despite their longer turnaround time, molecular tests are preferred for definitive diagnosis and for confirming cases of COVID-19, especially in symptomatic individuals and high-risk populations.

Antigen tests have gained popularity due to their rapid turnaround time and ease of use. These tests detect specific proteins on the surface of the virus and can provide results within minutes. While they are less accurate than molecular tests, antigen tests are valuable for mass screening and point-of-care testing. Their ability to quickly identify infected individuals makes them crucial in settings where immediate results are needed, such as airports, schools, and workplaces.

Antibody tests, also known as serology tests, detect the presence of antibodies in the blood, indicating a past infection. These tests play a crucial role in understanding the spread of the virus and the population's immunity levels. While not used for diagnosing active infections, antibody tests provide valuable data for epidemiological studies and vaccine efficacy assessments. They have been instrumental in guiding public health strategies and vaccination campaigns.

Abstract: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a viral pathogen that quickly became a global pandemic in the winter of 2020 – 2021. In response, governments issued social distancing orders to minimize transmission by reducing community contacts. We tested the efficacy of this social distancing at the state level during the first two months of the pandemic in the United States. We utilized data on daily SARS-CoV-2 case numbers and human community mobility (anonymized, aggregated cellphone location data stratified into six categories used as an index of social distancing), the date of government-issued social distancing orders, demographics, urbanization, and public transportation. We implemented cross-correlation to identify lag times between declines in mobility and SARS-CoV-2 cases. Incorporating state-specific lag times, we tested for associations between case counts and mobility metrics using Bayesian multilevel models. Decreased mobility around grocery stores/pharmacies, retail/recreation locations, transit stations, and workplaces were correlated with decreases in SARS-CoV-2 cases with significant lag times of ≥21 days. Social distancing orders were associated with fewer cumulative SARS-CoV-2 cases when they were put in place earlier. Community mobility had already started declining prior to most social distancing orders, especially the more restrictive orders implemented later in the pandemic. Social distancing is an important tool that has been implemented throughout the pandemic to decrease SARS-CoV-2 transmission, although with significant social and economic impacts. Our results suggest that declines in cases were observed several weeks subsequent to implementation of social distancing measures, and that implementing social distancing earlier could potentially minimize the duration of time these policies need to be in effect. Our findings can inform ongoing management of this pandemic and other emerging infectious disease outbreaks by identifying areas where reductions in mobility are associated with reduced disease transmission, and the expected time frame between behavioral changes and measurable population outcomes.

The global market for dexamethasone for COVID-19 experienced significant growth during the initial phases of the pandemic (2019-2024), driven by its efficacy as an anti-inflammatory drug in reducing mortality rates among severely ill COVID-19 patients. While precise figures for market size and CAGR aren't provided, industry reports suggest that the market witnessed substantial expansion during this period, fueled by high demand and widespread adoption. Let's assume a conservative estimate of a $500 million market size in 2024. Considering the decline in COVID-19 cases and reduced need for intensive care, the market's growth rate has likely slowed considerably post-2024. However, a residual market remains due to ongoing treatment of long COVID and potential future outbreaks or variants. For the period 2025-2033, a more modest CAGR of 5% is projected, reflecting this reduced demand. This translates to an estimated market size of approximately $700 million by 2033. Key players in the market include established pharmaceutical giants such as Pfizer, Novartis, and Merck & Co., alongside other companies specializing in generic drug production. The market is segmented based on formulation, distribution channels, and geographic regions. While the exact regional distribution is unavailable, it's reasonable to assume that North America and Europe held the largest market shares during the initial surge, reflecting higher healthcare expenditure and early pandemic impact. However, the market's future growth will likely be driven by emerging markets, where the need for cost-effective treatments remains. The major restraints on market growth include decreased COVID-19 cases globally, the emergence of effective vaccines, and the availability of alternative treatments. Despite these restraints, the market retains relevance due to lingering long-COVID effects and the possibility of future pandemic waves. Continued research into dexamethasone's broader applications beyond COVID-19 could further influence its market trajectory.

Product Type Analysis

The Remdesivir market by product type is segmented into injectable and oral forms. The injectable form of Remdesivir is currently the most prevalent in the market. This dominance is largely due to the drugÂ’s swift action when administered intravenously, which is crucial for critically ill COVID-19 patients. The injectable form is predominantly used in hospital settings, where patients require immediate and potent treatment to combat severe symptoms and prevent complications. Additionally, the injectable format allows for precise dosing and monitoring by healthcare professionals, a significant advantage in intensive care units.

The oral form of Remdesivir, although currently less common, is anticipated to gain market share in the coming years. Research and development efforts are focused on creating an effective oral formul

In the best case scenario in 2020, which is defined as a two month duration of travel bans and a sharp decline in domestic demand, the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to decrease by 0.09 percent due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. In a worse case scenario, defined as a six month duration of travel bans, the global GDP is predicted to decrease by 0.4 percent.

India reported almost 45 million cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as of October 20, 2023, with more than 44 million recoveries and about 532 thousand fatalities. The number of cases in the country had a decreasing trend in the past months.

Burden on the healthcare system

With the world's second largest population in addition to an even worse second wave of the coronavirus pandemic seems to be crushing an already inadequate healthcare system. Despite vast numbers being vaccinated, a new variant seemed to be affecting younger age groups this time around. The lack of ICU beds, black market sales of oxygen cylinders and drugs needed to treat COVID-19, as well as overworked crematoriums resorting to mass burials added to the woes of the country. Foreign aid was promised from various countries including the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. Additionally, funding from the central government was expected to boost vaccine production.

Situation overview
Even though days in April 2021 saw record-breaking numbers compared to any other country worldwide, a nation-wide lockdown has not been implemented. The largest religious gathering - the Kumbh Mela, sacred to the Hindus, along with election rallies in certain states continue to be held. Some states and union territories including Maharashtra, Delhi, and Karnataka had issued curfews and lockdowns to try to curb the spread of infections.

Background: The rapid growth in cases of COVID-19 has challenged national healthcare capacity, testing systems at an advanced ICU, and public health infrastructure level. This global study evaluates the association between multi-factorial healthcare capacity and case fatality of COVID-19 patients by adjusting for demographic, health expenditure, population density, and prior burden of non-communicable disease. It also explores the impact of government relationships with civil society as a predictor of infection and mortality rates.Methods: Data were extracted from the Johns Hopkins University database, World Bank records and the National Civic Space Ratings 2020 database. This study used data from 86 countries which had at least 1,000 confirmed cases on 30th April 2020. Negative binomial regression model was used to assess the association between case fatality (a ratio of total number of confirmed deaths to total number of confirmed cases) and healthcare capacity index adjusting for other covariates.Findings: Regression analysis shows that greater healthcare capacity was related to lesser case-fatality [incidence rate ratio (IRR) 0.5811; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.4727–0.7184; p < 0.001] with every additional unit increase in the healthcare capacity index associated with a 42% decrease in the case fatality. Health expenditure and civil society variables did not reach statistical significance but were positively associated with case fatalities.Interpretation: Based on preliminary data, this research suggests that building effective multidimensional healthcare capacity is the most promising means to mitigate future case fatalities. The data also suggests that government's ability to implement public health measures to a degree determines mortality outcomes.
