As of November 25, 2022 the number of COVID-19 cases in the Australian state of Victoria was at 40,482 people per 100,000 of the population. Since mid-2021, uncontained outbreaks in NSW and Victoria caused the government to move away from its former 'Covid zero' approach.

The economic impact of lockdown measures

In March of 2020, one survey showed that over 70 percent of Australians expected the economic outlook in Australia to get worse in the next three months. For most industries this prediction was correct, with the worst hit industries being hospitality, tourism, and gyms and fitness. However, some businesses flourished under the shift in pandemic consumer behavior with food delivery services, homewares and online gambling showing significant increases in consumption.

COVID-19 cases by notification date and postcode, local health district, and local government area. The dataset is updated weekly on Fridays.

The data is for confirmed COVID-19 cases only based on location of usual residence, not necessarily where the virus was contracted.

Case counts reported by NSW Health for a particular notification date may vary over time due to ongoing investigations and the outcome of cases under review thus this dataset and any historical data contained within is subject to change on a daily basis.

The underlying dataset was assessed to measure the risk of identifying an individual and the level of sensitivity of the information gained if it was known that an individual was in the dataset. The dataset was then treated to mitigate these risks, including suppressing and aggregating data.

This dataset does not include cases with missing location information.

Australia recorded 20553 Coronavirus Deaths since the epidemic began, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, Australia reported 11299954 Coronavirus Cases. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for Australia Coronavirus Deaths.

As of September 5, 2022, the number of male 20 to 29 year olds diagnosed with COVID-19 in Australia had reached around 23,164 cases per 100,000 people. At the time, people 70-79 years of age had the lowest share of confirmed cases across males and females.

COVID-19 cases by notification date and age range. Data is available from 29th of June 2021.

The data is for confirmed COVID-19 cases only based on location of usual residence, not necessarily where the virus was contracted.

The underlying dataset was assessed to measure the risk of identifying an individual and the level of sensitivity of the information gained if it was known that an individual was in the dataset. Age ranges have been combined to minimise these risks.

This dataset provides values for CORONAVIRUS CASES reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

New Covid cases per month in Australia, March, 2023 The most recent value is 62830 new Covid cases as of March 2023, a decline compared to the previous value of 70882 new Covid cases. Historically, the average for Australia from February 2020 to March 2023 is 302182 new Covid cases. The minimum of 16 new Covid cases was recorded in February 2020, while the maximum of 1789613 new Covid cases was reached in January 2022. | TheGlobalEconomy.com

As at January 31, 2022 there had been a total of 2,580,386 COVID-19 cases confirmed in Australia. After maintaining a 'COVID zero' infection control policy from the beginning of the outbreak and much of 2021, subsequent outbreaks in the second half of 2021 saw the Australian government shift its policy away from trying to eradicate domestic cases of COVID-19 to a staged reopening of state and international boarders with infection control measures.

On September 30, 2020, there were 17 new reported confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Australia. Australia's daily new confirmed coronavirus cases peaked on July 30 with 746 new cases on that day. This was considered to be the second wave of coronavirus infections in Australia, with the first wave peaking at the end of March at 460 cases before dropping to less than 20 cases per day throughout May and most of June.

 A second wave

Australia’s second wave of coronavirus found its epicenter in Melbourne, after over a month of recording low numbers of national daily cases. Despite being primarily focused within a single state, clusters of coronavirus cases in Victoria soon pushed the daily number of recorded cases over that of the first wave, with well over double the number of deaths. As a result, the Victorian Government once again increased lockdown measures to limit movement and social interaction. At the same time the other states and territories closed or restricted movement across borders, with some of the strictest border closures taking place in Western Australian.

 Is Australia entering into a recession?

After narrowly avoiding a recession during the global financial crisis, by September 2020 Australia had recorded two consecutive quarters of economic decline, hailing the country’s first recession since 1991. This did not necessarily come as a surprise for many Australians who had already witnessed a rising unemployment rate throughout the second quarter of 2020 alongside ongoing restrictions on retail and hospitality trading. However, thanks to welfare initiatives like JobKeeper and a government stimulus payment supplementing many household incomes, the economic situation could have been much worse at this point.

Abstract

JHU Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases, by country

Documentation

PHS is updating the Coronavirus Global Cases dataset weekly, Monday, Wednesday and Friday from Cloud Marketplace.

This data comes from the data repository for the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Visual Dashboard operated by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CSSE). This database was created in response to the Coronavirus public health emergency to track reported cases in real-time. The data include the location and number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, deaths, and recoveries for all affected countries, aggregated at the appropriate province or state. It was developed to enable researchers, public health authorities and the general public to track the outbreak as it unfolds. Additional information is available in the blog post.

**U.S. county-level characteristics relevant to COVID-19 **

Chin, Kahn, Krieger, Buckee, Balsari and Kiang (forthcoming) show that counties differ significantly in biological, demographic and socioeconomic factors that are associated with COVID-19 vulnerability. A range of publicly available county-specific data identifying these key factors, guided by international experiences and consideration of epidemiological parameters of importance, have been combined by the authors and are available for use:

https://github.com/mkiang/county_preparedness/

In past 24 hours, Australia-Oceania had 664 new cases, N/A deaths and 4,299 recoveries.

From 20 October 2023, COVID-19 datasets will no longer be updated.

Detailed information is available in the fortnightly NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/reports.aspx. Latest national COVID-19 spread, vaccination and treatment metrics are available on the Australian Government Health website: https://www.health.gov.au/topics/covid-19/reporting?language=und As of 10 February 2023, NSW Health will report only positive SARS-CoV-2 test results. Recent changes to the COVID-19 public health orders for COVID-19 means it is no longer necessary for laboratories to provide data on negative PCR test results, in line with other diseases. Positive COVID-19 results, through both PCR tests and notified rapid antigen test results, will continue to be reported. NSW Health uses a wide range of surveillance systems, including hospital data, sewage surveillance, and genomic sequencing, to closely monitor COVID-19 and inform its public health response. COVID-19 tests by date and postcode, local health district, and local government area. The dataset is updated weekly on Fridays. The data is for COVID-19 tests and is based on the Local Health District (LHD) and Local Government Area (LGA) of residence provided by the individual at time of testing. A surge in total number of people tested on a particular day may occur as the test results are updated in batches and new laboratories gain testing capacity. The underlying dataset was assessed to measure the risk of identifying an individual and the level of sensitivity of the information gained if it was known that an individual was in the dataset. The dataset was then treated to mitigate these risks, including suppressing and aggregating data. On 16 September 2021, NSW Health implemented a change in the way testing data is reported. We will discontinue publication of unit record test data file as the data will only be provided as an aggregated file The aggregated data file will only include negative tests. Positive tests (i.e. cases) will not be included. Please note the COVID-19 tests dataset does not include registered positive rapid antigen test (RAT) information.

Context

NSW has been hit by the Omicron variant, with skyrocketing cases. This dataset, updated regularly, details the location of positive cases. A prediction of where the most cases could occur can be derived from this dataset and a potential prediction of how many cases there is likely to be.

Content

notification_date: Text, dates to when the positive case was notified of a positive test result. postcode: Text, lists the postcode of the positive case. lhd_2010_code: Text, the code of the local health district of the positive case. lhd_2010_name: Text, the name of the local health district of the positive case. lga_code19: Text, the code of the local government area of the positive case. lga_name19: Text, the name of the local government area of the positive case.

Thanks to NSW Health for providing and updating the dataset.

Inspiration

The location of cases is highly important in NSW. In mid-2021, Western Sydney had the highest proportion of COVID-19 cases with many deaths ensuing. Western Sydney is one of Sydney's most diverse areas, with many vulnerable peoples. The virus spread to western NSW, imposing a risk to the Indigenous communities. With location data, a prediction service can be made to forecast the areas at risk of transmission.

From 20 October 2023, COVID-19 datasets will no longer be updated.

The data is for locations associated with confirmed COVID-19 cases that have been classified by NSW Health for action. Refer to the latest COVID-19 news and updates for information on action advice provided by NSW Health.

From Monday 15 November 2021, NSW Health will no longer list case locations that a COVID-19 positive person has attended. This is due to a number of reasons, including high vaccination rates in the community. If you are told to self-isolate by NSW Health or get tested for COVID-19 at any time you must follow this advice.

This dataset provides COVID-19 case locations by date of known outbreak, location, address and action. This data is subject to change as further locations are identified. Locations are removed when 14 days have passed since the last known date that a confirmed case was associated with the location.

The Government has obligations under the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 and the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 in relation to the collection, use and disclosure of the personal, including the health information, of individuals. Information about NSW Privacy laws is available here: https://data.nsw.gov.au/understand-key-data-legislation.

The information collected about confirmed case locations does not include any information to directly identify individuals, such as their name, date of birth or address.

In the week to November 25, 2022, there were 88,212 new cases of COVID-19 recorded in Australia. After two major coronavirus outbreaks in 2020, Australia managed to maintain a very low number of coronavirus infections with a policy of strict border restrictions and hotel quarantine for interstate and international visitors. Following sequential outbreaks in 2021, the country abandoned the Covid-zero policy and from late 2021 onwards, the country began the process of reopening its borders. Prior to September 9, 2022, Australia reported new COVID-19 case numbers daily.

From 20 October 2023, COVID-19 datasets will no longer be updated. Detailed information is available in the fortnightly NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/reports.aspx.

COVID-19 cases by notification date and postcode, local health district, local government area and likely source of infection.

This dataset has been discontinued from 19 November 2021. NSW Health now reports daily COVID-19 cases as a total of local and overseas cases. With quarantine-free international travel, overseas origin of cases can no longer be determined immediately, but will be included in the COVID-19 weekly surveillance reports. The NSW COVID-19 cases by location dataset will continue to be published.

The data is for confirmed COVID-19 cases only based on location of usual residence, not necessarily where the virus was contracted. The case definition of a confirmed case is a person who tests positive to a validated specific SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test or has the virus identified by electron microscopy or viral culture, at a reference laboratory. Data reported at 8pm daily.

Case counts reported by NSW Health for a particular notification date may vary over time due to ongoing investigations and the outcome of cases under review thus this dataset and any historical data contained within is subject to change on a daily basis.

The underlying dataset was assessed to measure the risk of identifying an individual and the level of sensitivity of the information gained if it was known that an individual was in the dataset. The dataset was then treated to mitigate these risks, including suppressing and aggregating data.

The dashboard contains COVID-19 cases, deaths, recovered persons, and tests in Australia as well as a global COVID-19 map. The Esri Australia COVID-19 Map features data compiled by Guardian Australia, which is sourced from state and territory government websites and media reports. The data is updated every hour.

A line list of Queensland's COVID-19 cases by date of individual's notification of COVID-19 detection, as well as the individual's age group at time of notification.

As at March 2023, the dataset incorporated the Queensland Public RAT Portal. Although this data has not been appropriately validated by Queensland pathology laboratories, the results were re-evaluated from within the Notifiable Conditions System (NoCS) and hence, any duplicates or other multiple entries for the same re-infection period have been appropriately integrated.
