This dataset includes the cumulative number and percent of healthcare facility-reported fatalities for patients with lab-confirmed COVID-19 disease by reporting date and age group. This dataset does not include fatalities related to COVID-19 disease that did not occur at a hospital, nursing home, or adult care facility. The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users with information about healthcare facility fatalities among patients with lab-confirmed COVID-19 disease.

The information in this dataset is also updated daily on the NYS COVID-19 Tracker at https://www.ny.gov/covid-19tracker.

The data source for this dataset is the daily COVID-19 survey through the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Health Electronic Response Data System (HERDS). Hospitals, nursing homes, and adult care facilities are required to complete this survey daily. The information from the survey is used for statewide surveillance, planning, resource allocation, and emergency response activities. Hospitals began reporting for the HERDS COVID-19 survey in March 2020, while Nursing Homes and Adult Care Facilities began reporting in April 2020. It is important to note that fatalities related to COVID-19 disease that occurred prior to the first publication dates are also included.

The fatality numbers in this dataset are calculated by assigning age groups to each patient based on the patient age, then summing the patient fatalities within each age group, as of each reporting date. The statewide total fatality numbers are calculated by summing the number of fatalities across all age groups, by reporting date. The fatality percentages are calculated by dividing the number of fatalities in each age group by the statewide total number of fatalities, by reporting date. The fatality numbers represent the cumulative number of fatalities that have been reported as of each reporting date.

As of December 16, 2022, there had been almost 6.37 million COVID-19 cases in New York State, with 2.97 million cases found in New York City. New York has been one of the U.S. states most impacted by the pandemic, recording the highest number of deaths in the country.

A closer look at the outbreak in New York Towards the middle of December 2022, the number of deaths due to the coronavirus in New York State had reached almost 60 thousand, and almost half of those deaths were in New York City. However, the number of new daily deaths in New York City peaked early in the pandemic and although there have been times when the number of new daily deaths surged, they have not gotten close to reaching the levels seen at the beginning of the pandemic. New York City is made up of five counties, which are more commonly known by their borough names – Staten Island is the borough with the highest rate of COVID-19 cases.

The New York Times is releasing a series of data files with cumulative counts of coronavirus cases in the United States, at the state and county level, over time. We are compiling this time series data from state and local governments and health departments in an attempt to provide a complete record of the ongoing outbreak.

Since the first reported coronavirus case in Washington State on Jan. 21, 2020, The Times has tracked cases of coronavirus in real time as they were identified after testing. Because of the widespread shortage of testing, however, the data is necessarily limited in the picture it presents of the outbreak.

We have used this data to power our maps and reporting tracking the outbreak, and it is now being made available to the public in response to requests from researchers, scientists and government officials who would like access to the data to better understand the outbreak.

The data begins with the first reported coronavirus case in Washington State on Jan. 21, 2020. We will publish regular updates to the data in this repository.

On April 7, 2020, there were 598 new deaths due to COVID-19 in New York City, higher than any other day since the pandemic hit the city. The state of New York has been one of the hardest hit U.S. states by the COVID-19 pandemic. This statistic shows the number of new COVID-19 deaths in New York City from March 3, 2020 to December 19, 2022, by date.

Note: As of November 10, 2023, this dataset has been archived. For the current version of this data, please visit: https://health.data.ny.gov/d/gikn-znjh

This dataset reports daily on the number of people vaccinated by New York providers with at least one dose and with a complete COVID-19 vaccination series overall since December 14, 2020. New York providers include hospitals, mass vaccination sites operated by the State or local governments, pharmacies, and other providers registered with the State to serve as points of distribution.

This dataset is created by the New York State Department of Health from data reported to the New York State Immunization Information System (NYSIIS) and the New York City Citywide Immunization Registry (NYC CIR). County-level vaccination data is based on data reported to NYSIIS and NYC CIR by the providers administering vaccines. Residency is self-reported by the individual being vaccinated. This data does not include vaccine administered through Federal entities or performed outside of New York State to New York residents. NYSIIS and CIR data is used for county-level statistics. New York State Department of Health requires all New York State vaccination providers to report all COVID-19 vaccination administration data to NYSIIS and NYC CIR within 24 hours of administration.

This dataset includes information on the number of positive tests of individuals for COVID-19 infection performed in New York State beginning March 1, 2020, when the first case of COVID-19 was identified in the state. The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users timely information about local disease spread and reporting of positive cases. The data will be updated daily, reflecting tests reported by 12:00 am (midnight) three days prior. Data are published on a three-day lag in order to allow all test results to be reported.

Reporting of SARS-CoV2 laboratory testing results is mandated under Part 2 of the New York State Sanitary Code. Clinical laboratories, as defined in Public Health Law (PHL) § 571 electronically report test results to the New York State Department of Health (DOH) via the Electronic Clinical Laboratory Reporting System (ECLRS). The DOH Division of Epidemiology’s Bureau of Surveillance and Data System (BSDS) monitors ECLRS reporting and ensures that all results are accurate.

Test counts are based on specimen collection date. A person may have multiple specimens tested on one day, these would be counted one time, i.e., if two specimens are collected from an individual at the same time and then evaluated, the outcome of the evaluation of those two samples to diagnose the individual is counted as a single test of one person, even though the specimens may be tested separately. All positive test results that are at least 90 days apart are counted as cases/new positives.

New positive test counts are assigned to a county based on this order of preference: 1) the patient’s address, 2) the ordering healthcare provider/campus address, or 3) the ordering facility/campus address.

Archived versions of the reinfections dataset are also available: First infections - https://health.data.ny.gov/d/xdss-u53e Reinfections - https://health.data.ny.gov/d/7aaj-cdtu

Dataset includes the unique ID of a sample, the viral concentration in a sample, the concentration of human fecal indicators in samples, flow rates, locations, etc. These data can be used to analyze trends of SARS-CoV-2 concentrations in sewer system on a week-to-week basis and estimate COVID-19 transmission rates.

Daily count of NYC residents who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, who were hospitalized with COVID-19, and deaths among COVID-19 patients.

Note that this dataset currently pulls from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nychealth/coronavirus-data/master/case-hosp-death.csv on a daily basis.

Note: Effective 3/31/25, this dataset is no longer being updated.

This dataset includes information on all positive tests of individuals for COVID-19 infection performed in New York State beginning March 1, 2020, when the first case of COVID-19 was identified in the state. The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users timely information about local disease spread and COVID-19 case rates by age group. The data will be updated weekly, reflecting tests reported by 12:00 AM three days prior to the date of the update.

Total positives includes both PCR and antigen positive test results.

Note: This is an updated version of the statewide cases by age dataset that includes all reported cases, both first infections and reinfections. An archived version of the prior dataset, which includes only first infections, is available: https://health.data.ny.gov/d/h8ay-wryy

As of March 7, 2021, there have been 39,029 deaths due to COVID-19 in the state of New York, with the first 3 deaths reported on March 14, 2020. This statistic shows the cumulative number of deaths related to COVID-19 in New York State from March 14 to March 7, 2021, by day.

This dataset shows daily citywide counts of persons tested by nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT, also known as a molecular test; e.g. a PCR test) for SARS-CoV-2 , counts of persons with positive tests, and the percent positivity. Also included is a calculation of the average percent positivity over a 7-day period. NAAT tests work through direct detection of the virus’s genetic material, and typically involve collecting a nasal swab. These tests are highly accurate and recommended for diagnosing current COVID-19 infection. After specimen collection, molecular tests are processed in a laboratory, and results are electronically reported to the New York State (NYS) Electronic Clinical Laboratory Results System (ECLRS). Test results for NYC residents are then sent electronically to NYC DOHMH. There is typically a lag of a few days between when a specimen is collected and when a result is reported to NYC DOHMH. Data is sourced from electronic laboratory reporting from NYS ECLRS. All identifying health information is excluded from the dataset.

Note: This dataset is no longer updated. This dataset includes cumulative and weekly counts of the number of new COVID-19 cases reported, number of cases reached, percent cases reached, total contacts elicited, total elicited contacts reached, and percent contacts reached by each week. Please note: In the earlier days of the program, the number of cases represented the numbers reported by selected LHDs. Therefore, the volume could be much lower than all new COVID cases.

NYC Coronavirus (COVID-19) data

This repository contains data on coronavirus (COVID-19) in New York City (NYC), updated daily. Data are assembled by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) Incident Command System for COVID-19 Response (Surveillance and Epidemiology Branch in collaboration with Public Information Office Branch). You can view these data on the Department of Health's website. Note that data are being collected in real-time and are preliminary and subject to change as COVID-19 response continues.

Files summary.csv This file contains summary information, including when the dataset was "cut" - the cut-off date and time for data included in this update.

Estimated hospitalization counts reflect the total number of people ever admitted to a hospital, not currently admitted.

case-hosp-death.csv This file includes daily counts of new confirmed cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.

Cases are by date of diagnosis Hospitalizations are by date of admission Deaths are by date of death Because of delays in reporting, the most recent data may be incomplete. Data shown currently will be updated in the future as new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are reported.

boro.csv This contains rates of confirmed cases, by NYC borough of residence. Rates are:

Cumulative since the start of the outbreak Age adjusted according to the US 2000 standard population Per 100,000 people in the borough by-age.csv This contains age-specific rates of confirmed cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.

by-sex.csv This contains rates of confirmed cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.

testing.csv This file includes counts of New York City residents with specimens collected for SARS-CoV-2 testing by day, the subsets who tested positive as confirmed COVID-19 cases, were ever hospitalized, and who died, as of the date of extraction from the NYC Health Department's disease surveillance database. For each date of extraction, results for all specimen collection dates are appended to the bottom of the dataset. Lags between specimen collection date and report dates of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths can be assessed by comparing counts for the same specimen collection date across multiple data extract dates.

tests-by-zcta.csv This file includes the cumulative count of New York City residents by ZIP code of residence who:

Were ever tested for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Tested positive The cumulative counts are as of the date of extraction from the NYC Health Department's disease surveillance database. Technical Notes This section may change as data and documentation are updated.

Estimated number of COVID-19 patients ever hospitalized At this time, NYC DOHMH does not have the ability to robustly quantify the number of people currently admitted to a hospital given intense resource and time constraints on hospital reporting systems. Therefore, we have estimated the number of individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 who have ever been hospitalized by matching the list of key fields from known cases that are reported by laboratories to the NYC DOHMH Bureau of Communicable Disease surveillance database to other sources of hospital admission information. These other sources include:

The NYC DOHMH syndromic surveillance database that tracks daily hospital admissions from all 53 emergency departments across NYC The New York State Department of Health Hospital Emergency Response Data System (HERDS). Rates per 100,000 people Annual citywide, borough-specific, and demographic specific intercensal population estimates from 2018 were developed by NYC DOHMH on the basis of the US Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program, as of November 2019.

Rates of cases at the borough-level were calculated using direct standardization for age at diagnosis and weighting by the US 2000 standard population.

Note: This dataset is no longer being updated as of September 1, 2023. This dataset reports the number of reinfections in New York State since January 2021. A reinfection is when a person becomes infected with COVID and later becomes infected again. A person is considered a reinfection if they test positive again 90 days or more after their first positive test. The goal of this dataset is to provide users timely information about the trends in reinfections in New York State. This dataset is created by the New York State Department of Health from data reported to Electronica Clinical Laboratory Reporting System (ECLRS).

This dataset includes the different reopening statuses and health and safety guidelines that were assigned to individual industries during the State of New York’s COVID-19 declared state of emergency, which began on March 7, 2020, and ended on June 24, 2021.
