Age-standardised mortality rates (ASMRs) for deaths involving COVID-19 by ethnic group, England.

Estimates of differences in coronavirus (COVID-19) mortality risk by self-reported disability status for deaths occurring up to 9 March 2022, using linked data from the Office for National Statistics’ Public Health Data Asset.

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.

A survey carried out in the United Kingdom (UK) in June 2020 shows which sources of news and information on the coronavirus outbreak led to respondents altering their behavior. A share of 19 percent of the respondents said that broadcasters had made them change their behavior in the week before the survey took place.

Data on activities that respondents have been doing more of since the start of the coronavirus pandemic and will keep doing after the end of the pandemic. Data are based on the COVID-19 module of the OPN, collected between 10 and 14 March 2021.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic in the United Kingdom and subsequent lockdown, retail and recreation locations such as restaurants and cafes saw an 85 percent decline in their footfall in March 2020 compared with their usual activity. By contrast, residential locations saw a 15 percent increase, implying that people in the UK are complying with the social distancing encouraged by the government.

A survey carried out in the United Kingdom in September 2021 revealed that the main source used for news on COVID-19 among consumers aged 16 to 24 years old was the BBC, with 51 percent saying that they went to a BBC platform for coronavirus updates in the last week. The same share of respondents in that age group also used social media for COVID-19 information, whereas older consumers were more likely to read newspapers.

Context

Within the current response of a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which in turn causes the disease, called COVID-19. It is necessary to join forces to minimize the effects of this disease.

Therefore, the intention of this dataset is to save data scientists time:

• Gather the data at the country level, encoding the country with its ISO code to allow easy access to other data
• Perform pre-processing of data, calculations of increments and other indicators that can facilitate modeling.
• Add the response of the governments over time so that it can be taken into account in the modeling.
• Daily update.

This dataset is not intended to be static, so suggestions for expanding it are welcome. If someone considers it important to add information, please let me know.

Almost all sectors of the United Kingdom will see their output shrink considerably in the second quarter of 2020, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the lockdown measures enforced by the government. Education will be the most affected sector, seeing output decline by 90 percent, while accommodation and food services will shrink by 85 percent. The only sectors which are not forecast to see output losses are agriculture, which is expected to see no change in output, and human health and social activities, which is forecast to increase by 50 percent.

When asked whether or not their spending habits had changed during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, approximately a third of consumers in the United Kingdom (UK) stated they had been shopping online more than usual.

The COVID-19 Health Inequalities Monitoring in England (CHIME) tool brings together data relating to the direct impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19) on factors such as mortality rates, hospital admissions, confirmed cases and vaccinations.

By presenting inequality breakdowns - including by age, sex, ethnic group, level of deprivation and region - the tool provides a single point of access to:

• show how inequalities have changed during the course of the pandemic and what the current cumulative picture is
• bring together data in one tool to enable users to access and use the intelligence more easily
• provide indicators with a consistent methodology across different data sets to facilitate understanding
• support users to identify and address inequalities within their areas, and identify priority areas for recovery

In the March 2023 update, data has been updated for deaths, hospital admissions and vaccinations. Data on inequalities in vaccination uptake within upper tier local authorities has been added to the tool for the first time. This replaces data for lower tier local authorities, published in December 2022, allowing the reporting of a wider range of inequality breakdowns within these areas.

The Understanding Society COVID-19 Study, 2020-2021 is a regular survey of households in the UK. The aim of the study is to enable research on the socio-economic and health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the short and long term. The surveys started in April 2020 and took place monthly until July 2020. From September 2020 they took place every other month until March 2021 and the final wave was fielded in September 2021. They complement the annual interviews of the Understanding Society study. The data can be linked to data on the same individuals from previous waves of the annual interviews (SN 6614) using the personal identifier pidp. However, the most recent pre-pandemic (2019) annual interviews for all respondents who have taken part in the COVID-19 Study are included as part of this data release. Please refer to the User Guide for further information on linking in this way and for geographical information options.
