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

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.

As of December 6, 2022, there had been a total of ****** confirmed deaths from COVID-19 in Australia. The country recorded its first COVID-death on March 1, 2020. Within the first year of the pandemic in 2020, Australia recorded less than ************ COVID-19 related deaths.

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

WHO: COVID-2019: Number of Patients: Death: New: Australia data was reported at 0.000 Person in 24 Dec 2023. This stayed constant from the previous number of 0.000 Person for 23 Dec 2023. WHO: COVID-2019: Number of Patients: Death: New: Australia data is updated daily, averaging 0.000 Person from Jan 2020 (Median) to 24 Dec 2023, with 1430 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 1,094.000 Person in 31 Dec 2022 and a record low of -76.000 Person in 16 Jul 2023. WHO: COVID-2019: Number of Patients: Death: New: Australia data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Health Organization. The data is categorized under High Frequency Database’s Disease Outbreaks – Table WHO.D002: World Health Organization: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-2019): by Country and Region (Discontinued). Negative data reflects the number of retrospective adjustments made by national authorities due to reconciliation exercises, and consequently deducted to the corresponding “To-Date” series.

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.

The Australian Twittersphere is a database of tweets from identified Australian accounts, originally set up through the TrISMA project, and now managed by the QUT Digital Observatory. This dataset includes 3.7 million Australian Twitter accounts, with 1.8 billion tweets captured to date. Since the beginning of 2019, there have been about 800,000 new tweets per day, from 100,000 daily active users. The 100 days of COVID-19 in the Australian Twittersphere dataset consists of 2.8 million tweet IDs corresponding to tweets from the Australian Twittersphere that mention the COVID-19 pandemic, either through Coronavirus specific hashtags or keywords. The tweets were created on or after 20 January 2020, and up until 23 May 2020 (the 15 weeks that form the first ‘100 days’ of COVID-19 in Australia). This dataset provides a glimpse of the experiences and attitudes of Australians presently living through this global pandemic. We are all in this together and as such this dataset has been released as rapidly as possible to enable use by the broader research community.

The SQL used to extract the tweets from the Australian Twittersphere database is as follows:

SELECT tweet_id FROM oz_twitter.tweet WHERE created_at >= '2020-01-19 14:00:00' -- corresponds to >= '2020-01-20 00:00:00' in Brisbane time AND created_at < '2020-05-03 14:00:00' -- corresponds to < '2020-05-04 00:00:00' in Brisbane time AND multiMatchAny(lower(text), ['covid', 'corona', 'flattenthecurve', 'socialdistancing', 'stayhome', 'lockdown', 'wuhan', 'pandemic']) AND notEmpty(hashtags) = 1;

Access to the Australian Twittersphere database is managed by the QUT Digital Observatory.

Australia’s first coronavirus case was discovered on ****************. The infected person was a man from the coronavirus epicenter, Wuhan, who had flown into Melbourne on the **** of January. Although some of the first infections in Australia can be attributed to travelers from China, by ********, infections attributed to people who had visited the United States and Italy had overtaken China.

Travel restrictions

With the rate of infection in China climbing steadily in early *************, the Australian government began to implement measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus. These measures involved social distancing and broad travel restrictions, including the closing of boarders to all foreign nationals arriving from China on **********. Overall, the number of travelers moving through airports across Australia had already begun to drop noticeably and Chinese students were one of the largest groups to be affected. By March, well after the 2020 school year had begun, over ** percent of Chinese university students with visas to study in Australia had not entered the country. This also added to economic concerns, with Chinese students representing just over ** billion Australian dollars in education export income in 2019.

Cruise ships

During the COVID-19 pandemic a number of cruise ships were hit by the virus, which spread amongst passengers and staff in the closed environments. The Diamond Princess, which was quarantined in Yokohama, Japan, had around *** Australians on board, of which at least a quarter contracted the coronavirus. The Ruby Princess was another cruise ship attributed to the spread of COVID-19 within Australia. On **************, the ship docked in Sydney harbor and ***** passengers disembarked. By ******** it was confirmed that *** passengers had contracted COVID-19 on the Ruby Princess.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.
