COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the world, causing tens of millions of deaths, overwhelming healthcare systems, and disrupting societies and economies.

The rapid spread of the coronavirus led to many scientific developments and policies — from rapid testing and vaccines to social distancing and financial support — but an uneven global response, with significant disparities in healthcare access, economic responses, and outcomes.

Reliable data has been crucial to effectively track and respond to the pandemic and guide public health efforts, research, and policies.

For several years during the pandemic, our team at Our World in Data published daily updates on a range of crucial indicators and developed two global datasets on testing and vaccination. Our COVID-19 Data Explorer became a go-to source for people to understand the extent and spread of the disease.

On this page, you will find our wide-ranging catalog of data and research on the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 related spending reported to the Controller’s Office by City departments from March 2020 through March 1, 2022.

This document details estimated expenditures related to COVID-19.Please be advised that this information is a fluid, constantly changing report and this is ONLY a snapshot of it on the day in question.Some of the entries represent encumbrances of intended expenditures which may or may not have occurred. An hypothetical (not actual) example would be Metro submitting a bid for masks for $600k and we ended up losing the bid. That estimated expenditure would be listed and “encumbered” on this list but ultimately removed since it was not successful.Personnel costs are estimates based on daily time entries. Final personnel costs will be pulled from actual payroll totals which are processed every two weeks.Additionally, the following monthly reports have been provided to the Louisville Metro Budget Committee to document CARES-related formal drawdown of funds as well as CARES budget updates for both FY20 and FY21.Contact:OpenRecords2@louisvilleky.gov
