This feature service contains COVID-19 data automatically updated from the Public Health England (PHE) API service, daily. Using this API, this service takes the current day request minus two days. Therefore the data will always be two days behind. This is a result of the delay between PHE's specimen date and reporting date.The Polygon Layers, which all contain spatial data, provide information about the latest cumulative figures at three geographies; Local Authority, Regions and Nations. The Tables, which are not spatially aware, provide historical data for each feature. The format of these tables allow you to use the Join tool with the Polygon Layers and create a time enabled layer. This can be used within a dashboard or on the animation tool to view patterns over time.

Dataset no longer updated: Due to changes in the collection and availability of data on COVID-19, this dataset is no longer updated. Latest information about COVID-19 is available via the UKHSA data dashboard. The UK government publish daily data, updated weekly, on COVID-19 cases, vaccinations, hospital admissions and deaths. This note provides a summary of the key data for London from this release. Data are published through the UK Coronavirus Dashboard, last updated on 23 March 2023. This update contains: Data on the number of cases identified daily through Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 testing at the national, regional and local authority level Data on the number of people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 Data on the number of COVID-19 patients in Hospital Data on the number of people who have died within 28 days of a COVID-19 diagnosis Data for London and London boroughs and data disaggregated by age group Data on weekly deaths related to COVID-19, published by the Office for National Statistics and NHS, is also available.

This compares with 72 patients on 15 March 2023. Update: From 1st July updates are weekly From Friday 1 July 2022, this page will be updated weekly rather than daily. This change results from a change to the UK government COVID-19 Dashboard which will move to weekly reporting. Weekly updates will be published every Thursday. Daily data up to the most recent available will continue to be added in each weekly update. Data summary Local authority data Demographics Notes on data sources Source: UK Coronavirus Dashboard. For more information see: Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the UK - About the Data. Cases Data UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) reports new and cumulative cases identified by Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 testing. Pillar 1 testing relates to tests carried out in UKHSA laboratories or NHS Hospitals for those with clinical need, and health and care workers. Pillar 2 testing relates to tests carried out on the wider population in Lighthouse laboratories, public, private, and academic sector laboratories or using lateral flow devices. The cases data is published by day for Countries within the UK, and Regions, Upper Tier Local Authority (UTLA) and Lower Tier Local Authority (LTLA) within England. The data used here is taken from the regional and UTLA level cases data. Notice: Changes to COVID-19 case reporting As of 31 January 2022, UKHSA moved all COVID-19 case reporting in England to use an episode-based definition which includes possible reinfections. Those testing positive beyond 90 days of a previous infection are now counted as a separate infection episode (a possible reinfection episode). Previously people who tested positive for COVID-19 were only counted once in case numbers published on the daily dashboard, at the date of the first infection. Full details of the changes can be found here Changes to COVID-19 testing in England The availability of free COVID-19 tests in England changed on 1 April 2022. Information on who can access free tests has been published by UKHSA. Changes to patient testing in the NHS in England have also been published by NHS England. Deaths data Data on COVID-19 associated deaths in England are produced by UKHSA from multiple sources linked to confirmed case data. Deaths are only included if the deceased had a positive test for COVID-19 and died within 28 days of the first positive test. Postcode of residence for deaths is collected at the time of testing. This is supplemented, where available, with information from ONS mortality records, Health Protection Team reports and NHS Digital Patient Demographic Service records. Full details of the methodology are available in the technical summary of the PHE data series on deaths in people with COVID-19. Hospital admissions data UKHSA publish the daily total number of patients admitted to hospital, patients in hospital and patients in beds which can deliver mechanical ventilation with COVID-19. In England this includes COVID-19 patients being treated in NHS acute hospitals, mental health and learning disability trusts, and independent service providers commissioned by the NHS. Vaccination data UKHSA publish the number of people who have received a COVID-19 vaccination, by day on which the vaccine was administered. Data are reported daily and can be updated for historical dates as vaccinations given are recorded on the relevant system. Therefore, data for recent dates may be incomplete. Vaccinations that were carried out in England are reported in the National Immunisation Management Service which is the system of record for the vaccination programme in England. Only people aged 12 and over who have an NHS number and are currently alive are included. Age is defined as a person's age at 31 August 2021. The data includes counts of vaccinations by age band, dose, region, and local authority. Additional analysis of the vaccine roll out in London can be found here. ONS population estimates The counts of vaccines given has been converted to percentage of the population vaccinated using the ONS 2020 mid-year population estimates. This is a different population estimate to that used on the UK Coronavirus Dashboard for sub-national data. The UK Coronavirus Dashboard uses people aged 16 and over in the National Immunisation Management Service (NIMS), which is based on GP registrations. In more urban areas like London, NIMS is likely to give an overestimate of the population due to increased population mobility increasing the likelihood duplicate or out of date GP records. Due to the differences in population estimates the percentage of the population vaccinated given here will be higher than the figures included for London on the UK Coronavirus Dashboard.

As of August 11, 2022, over 23.4 million people in the United Kingdom had tested positive for COVID-19 with 3,948 cases reported on that day. During the large wave of cases in the winter 2020/21, the number of daily hospitalizations also peaked with both graphs taking similar shapes. Although hospitalizations did increase, rising case numbers at the end of 2021 did not fully corresponded into a similarly large surge as the previous winter, as experts pointed to the effectiveness of being vaccinated against COVID-19.

11th January 2020 Change to vaccination data made available by UK gov - now just cumulative number of vaccines delivered are available for both first and second doses. For the devolved nations the cumulative totals are available for the dates from when given, however for the UK as a whole the total doses given is just on the last date of the index, regardless of when those vaccines were given.

4th January 2020 VACCINATION DATA ADDED - New and Cumulative First Dose Vaccination Data added to UK_National_Total_COVID_Dataset.csv and UK_Devolved_Nations_COVID_Dataset.csv

2nd December 2020:

NEW population, land area and population density data added in file NEW_Official_Population_Data_ONS_mid-2019.csv. This data is scraped from the Office for National Statistics and covers the UK, devolved UK nations, regions and local authorities (boroughs).

20th November 2020:

With European governments struggling with a 'second-wave' of rising cases, hospitalisations and deaths resulting from the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19), I wanted to make a comparative analysis between the data coming out of major European nations since the start of the pandemic.

I started by creating a Sweden COVID-19 dataset and now I'm looking at my own country, the United Kingdom.

The data comes from https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ and I used the Developer's Guide to scrape the data, so it was a fairly simple process. The notebook that scapes the data is public and can be found here. Further information about data collection methodologies and definitions can be found here.

The data includes the overall numbers for the UK as a whole, the numbers for each of the devolved UK nations (Eng, Sco, Wal & NI), English Regions and Upper Tier Local Authorities (UTLA) for all of the UK (what we call Boroughs). I have also included a small table with the populations of the 4 devolved UK nations, used to calculate the death rates per 100,000 population.

As I've said for before - I am not an Epidemiologist, Sociologist or even a Data Scientist. I am actually a Mechanical Engineer! The objective here is to improve my data science skills and maybe provide some useful data to the wider community.

Any questions, comments or suggestions are most welcome! I am open to requests and collaborations! Stay Safe!

COVID-19 is a infectious Disease which has infected more than 500 people in UK and many more people world-wide.
