Content

The dataset contains data about the numbers of tests, cases, deaths, serious/critical cases, active cases and recovered cases in each country for every day since April 18, and also contains the population of each country to calculate per-capita penetration of the virus

I've removed data from the "Diamond Princess" and "MS Zaandam" since they are not countries

Additionally, an auxiliray table with information about the fraction of the general population at different age groups for every country is added (taken from Wikipedia). This is specifically relevant since COVID-19 death rate is very much age dependent.

Data about age structure for every country comes from wikipedia

Inspiration

It's possible to use this dataset for various purposes and analyses My goal will be to use the additional data about the number of tests performed in each country to estimate the true death and infection rates of COVID-19

This dataset, titled "Global COVID-19 Statistics - Jan 2025," contains the latest COVID-19 statistics collected from the Worldometer website on Jan 09, 2025. The data includes crucial metrics such as the total number of cases, deaths, recoveries, and active cases for countries around the world. The information is extracted from the comprehensive table provided by Worldometer, which is widely regarded as a reliable source for real-time coronavirus statistics.

Context

The files provided are daily datasets that I scraped from the COVID-19 tracking website Worldometer over the course of 3 days—08/04/21–08/06/21. The dates don't necessarily have to contain the most recent data because that is not the intent of this dataset.

Inspiration

For me, I find making data visualizations very satisfying. Seeing a neat and tidy graph come out of an enormous CSV file is very inspirational to me. The goal is simply to use this data to make visualizations of how COVID-19 is continuing to affect each country throughout the world.

Based on a comparison of coronavirus deaths in 210 countries relative to their population, Peru had the most losses to COVID-19 up until July 13, 2022. As of the same date, the virus had infected over 557.8 million people worldwide, and the number of deaths had totaled more than 6.3 million. Note, however, that COVID-19 test rates can vary per country. Additionally, big differences show up between countries when combining the number of deaths against confirmed COVID-19 cases. The source seemingly does not differentiate between "the Wuhan strain" (2019-nCOV) of COVID-19, "the Kent mutation" (B.1.1.7) that appeared in the UK in late 2020, the 2021 Delta variant (B.1.617.2) from India or the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) from South Africa.

The difficulties of death figures

This table aims to provide a complete picture on the topic, but it very much relies on data that has become more difficult to compare. As the coronavirus pandemic developed across the world, countries already used different methods to count fatalities, and they sometimes changed them during the course of the pandemic. On April 16, for example, the Chinese city of Wuhan added a 50 percent increase in their death figures to account for community deaths. These deaths occurred outside of hospitals and went unaccounted for so far. The state of New York did something similar two days before, revising their figures with 3,700 new deaths as they started to include “assumed” coronavirus victims. The United Kingdom started counting deaths in care homes and private households on April 29, adjusting their number with about 5,000 new deaths (which were corrected lowered again by the same amount on August 18). This makes an already difficult comparison even more difficult. Belgium, for example, counts suspected coronavirus deaths in their figures, whereas other countries have not done that (yet). This means two things. First, it could have a big impact on both current as well as future figures. On April 16 already, UK health experts stated that if their numbers were corrected for community deaths like in Wuhan, the UK number would change from 205 to “above 300”. This is exactly what happened two weeks later. Second, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly which countries already have “revised” numbers (like Belgium, Wuhan or New York) and which ones do not. One work-around could be to look at (freely accessible) timelines that track the reported daily increase of deaths in certain countries. Several of these are available on our platform, such as for Belgium, Italy and Sweden. A sudden large increase might be an indicator that the domestic sources changed their methodology.

Where are these numbers coming from?

The numbers shown here were collected by Johns Hopkins University, a source that manually checks the data with domestic health authorities. For the majority of countries, this is from national authorities. In some cases, like China, the United States, Canada or Australia, city reports or other various state authorities were consulted. In this statistic, these separately reported numbers were put together. For more information or other freely accessible content, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.

Context

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic is an ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus first emerged in Wuhan, Hubei, China, in December 2019. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. As of 11 March 2020, over 126,000 cases have been confirmed in more than 110 countries and territories, with major outbreaks in mainland China, Italy, South Korea, and Iran. More than 4,600 have died from the disease and 67,000 have recovered.

2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a virus (more specifically, a coronavirus) identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China. Early on, many of the patients in the outbreak in Wuhan, China reportedly had some link to a large seafood and animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread. However, a growing number of patients reportedly have not had exposure to animal markets, indicating person-to-person spread is occurring. At this time, it’s unclear how easily or sustainably this virus is spreading between people - CDC

This dataset has information on the number of affected cases, deaths and recovery from 2019 novel coronavirus. Please note that this data was scrapped from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/.This data is solely for education purposes only.

The high sensitivity of COVID-19 and the need for high accuracy calculations necessitate collecting the required data sets from reliable sources. Thus, all information was collected and categorized from reputable sources such as WHO (World Health Organization) and worldometers site (www.worldometers.info). The worldometers site contains information such as daily mortality statistics, recovery, and newly confirmed cases. Research data including observation data is obtained from a collection of Iranian samples’ reports in three parts (i.e. death, confirmed and recovered). This countrywide daily information is confirmed by the WHO. It should be noted that the relevant data was collected between February 19 and May 16, 2020.

Context

This data was collected as part of a university research paper where COVID-19 cases were analysed using a cross-sectional regression model as at 17th May 2020. In order to better understand COVID-19 cases growth at a country level I decided to create a dataset containing key dates in the progression of the virus globally.

Content

210 rows, 6 columns.

This dataset contains data relating to COVID-19 cases for 210 countries globally. Data was collected using the most recent and reliable information as at 17th May 2020. The majority of data was collected from Worldometer. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

This dataset contains dates for the 1st coronavirus case, 100th coronavirus case, and (50th coronavirus case per 1 million people) for 210 countries. Data is also provided for the number of days between the 1st case and the 100th as well as the 1st case and the 50th per 1 million people.

Data prior to 15th February 2020, was not easily accessible at the country level from Worldometer. Therefore any dates prior to 15th February 2020 were not sourced from Worldometer but reputable government and local media sources.

Blanks (null values) indicate that the country in question has not reached either 50 coronavirus cases per 1 million people or 100 coronavirus cases. These were left blank.
