Findings from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Survey for England.

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.

Dataset description

Daily official UK Covid data. The data is available per country (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and for different regions in England. The different regions are split into two different files as part of the data is directly gathered by the NHS (National Health Service). The files that contain the word 'nhsregion' in their name, include data related to hospitals only, such as number of admissions or number of people in respirators. The files containing the word 'region' in their name, include the rest of the data, such as number of cases, number of vaccinated people or number of tests performed per day. The next paragraphs describe the columns for the different file types.

It's worth noting that the dataset hasn't been cleaned and it needs cleaning. Also, different files have different null columns. This isn't an error in the dataset but the way different countries and regions report the data.

****Notes on the methodology**** This service shows case numbers as reported to Public Health England (PHE), matched to Administrative Geography Codes from the Office of National Statistics. Cases include people who have recovered.

Events are time-stamped on the date that PHE was informed of the new case or death.

The map shows circles that grow or shrink in line with the number of cases in that geographic area.

Data from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is represented on the charts, total indicators and on the country level map layer.

COVID-19 Cases in England

Tracking Infection Risk at a Local Level

By Dan Winchester [source]

About this dataset

This dataset contains the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in each English Upper Tier Local Authority over the past eight days. Aggregated from Public Health England data, this dataset provides unprecedented insight into how quickly the virus has been able to spread in local communities throughout England. Despite testing limitations, understanding these localized patterns of infection can help inform important public health decisions by local authorities and healthcare workers alike.

It is essential to bear in mind that this data is likely an underestimation of true infection rates due to limited testing -- it is critical not to underestimate the risk the virus poses on a local scale! Use this dataset at your own discretion with caution and care; consider supplementing it with other health and socio-economic metrics for a holistic picture of regional trends over time.

This dataset features information surrounding GSS codes and names as well as total numbers of recorded COVID-19 cases per English Upper Tier Local Authority on January 5th 2023 (TotalCases_2023-01-05)

Research Ideas

• Comparing the total cases in each local authority to population density of the region, to identify areas with higher incidence of virus
• Tracking changes in total cases over a period of time to monitor trend shifts and detect possible outbreak hotspots
• Establishing correlations between the spread of COVID-19 and other non-coronavirus related health issues, such as mental health or cardiovascular risk factors

Background

This Sqlite database contains data publicly available from GOV.UK and can be found here: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/. The data is available via a REST API and come data is available in CSV format. However, it can be difficult to pull all this data together, so this Sqlite database contains a number of tables which includes all the data imported via the API.

How was this data generated?

For more information on how to generate this database, and extract and load the data using the REST API, you can use the additional Jupyter Notebooks which can be found in the following Git Repo: https://github.com/happyadam73/c19-notebooks

Currently this data runs up to 25 February 2022.

NOTE: As of 31st January 2022, publish date based cases include all episodes but historic data has not been updated. It is recommended for historical analysis to use specimen date cases. For more details, see: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/whats-new/record/beb802ac-1ed2-47ac-b314-69a5c3f712b5
