COVID-19 in Canada Canada has recorded almost 4.65 million coronavirus cases since the first infection in the country was confirmed on January 25, 2020. The number of cases by province shows that Ontario and Quebec have been the most severely affected. The number of daily new cases reached record highs at the end of 2021 and began to decrease as spring arrived in 2022.

*** Important note*** - July 6, 2022: Update stopped. Considering the changes in the vaccination recommendations issued on June 20, 2022 by the Committee on Immunization of Quebec, an adaptation of the indicators to assess and monitor vaccination coverage during the fall 2022 campaign is in progress. Since the monitoring of the indicators as they were disseminated up to now is no longer possible, the dataset will no longer be updated for the time being. The files from the last update remain available. This game presented the daily portrait of the vaccination status of new cases and new hospitalizations of COVID-19 in Quebec. The most up-to-date data presented is from the day before.

Context

As we enter into the latter half of the second year of the Coronavirus pandemic, transmission has become the keyword as more variants emerge. In this dataset, I thought to shed some light on the relationship between transmission types and death rates. This dataset contains the number of cases by region in Canada in 2021 by their respective transmission methods and death rates. I also added the perceived health by region in Canada in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Content

The dataset consists of two csv files: transmission & death.csv and Perceived Health.csv.

transmission & death.csv: Case counts by region in Canada categorized by transmission methods and death status. This data is provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada. The original data set contains age and gender details, which I combined columns into one to focus on the transmission vs. death investigation. This file contains case counts from January 15, 2020 to September 5, 2021.

Perceived Health.csv is the perceived health by region in Canada based on the Canadian Community Health Survey released on September 8, 2021.

Column Description
