District of Columbia COVID-19 positive cases and total tests reported by Ward. Due to rapidly changing nature of COVID-19, data for March 2020 is limited. General Guidelines for Interpreting Disease Surveillance DataDuring a disease outbreak, the health department will collect, process, and analyze large amounts of information to understand and respond to the health impacts of the disease and its transmission in the community. The sources of disease surveillance information include contact tracing, medical record review, and laboratory information, and are considered protected health information. When interpreting the results of these analyses, it is important to keep in mind that the disease surveillance system may not capture the full picture of the outbreak, and that previously reported data may change over time as it undergoes data quality review or as additional information is added. These analyses, especially within populations with small samples, may be subject to large amounts of variation from day to day. Despite these limitations, data from disease surveillance is a valuable source of information to understand how to stop the spread of COVID19.

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 late January, 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.

The United States remains the epicenter for the COVID-19 pandemic. Having accurate data reporting and analysis at the local, state, and national levels would help steer containment efforts, build a more targeted response strategy, and foster learnings across cities and states as new hotspots arise. Throughout the course of the pandemic, Population Council researchers have been tracking how COVID-19 data are reported and analyzed using a comprehensive analysis of 62 COVID-19 data sources from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and health departments across 50 states, Washington D.C., and ten major cities. We assessed data completeness for COVID-19 testing and four outcomes (cases, hospitalizations, recoveries, and deaths), and examined disaggregation of COVID-19 testing and outcomes by a core set of demographic indicators, including age, race/ethnicity, sex/gender, geography, and underlying health conditions. This analysis also investigated how social and community level data were reported and analyzed, variations in data reporting, and changes over the course of the pandemic. Having this information can equip national and local health officials to deploy a more targeted response effort such as testing, contact tracing, treatment, and containment strategy.

This time-series dataset tracks restrictions to indoor in-person gatherings for worship during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 1, 2020, to July 1, 2021.

The data were compiled from publicly available information provided by state government websites and documents. To collect this data, researchers reviewed the executive orders issued by governors from all 50 states and the mayor's office of Washington, D.C. over the relevant time period. In cases where the executive order delegated authority to another agency or department, such as the health department, researchers reviewed the relevant orders, guidance or press releases of those agencies or departments. In some cases where ambiguities about the exact limits of an order remained or needed confirmation, researchers reviewed press releases, presentations, court filings or new stories. The data were internally reviewed for consistency of interpretation of those orders and guidance.

The data does not track restrictions or limits on outdoor worship.

In cases where states implemented restrictions in the form of 'tiers' that included numeric caps or percent limits, the effective start and end date in the dataset pertains to the most restrictive potential tier when that system was in effect, whether or not any jurisdictions within that state were in those tiers.

BackgroundUntil the COVID-19 pandemic, it had not been possible to examine the effect of rapid policy changes surrounding telemental health on patient-reported mental health care access, costs, symptoms, and functioning. Sizable variation in telemental health use by patient race-ethnicity, age, and rurality, and in its adoption across healthcare settings, underscores the need to study equitable dissemination and implementation of high-quality telemental health services in the real world. This protocol describes an explanatory sequential mixed-methods study that aims to examine the effects of state telemental health policy expansion on patient-reported mental health outcomes, as well as the policy-to-practice pathway from the perspectives of state leaders, clinicians, and staff who care for underserved patients.MethodsThis study uses legal mapping research methods to characterize the effective dates and specific provisions of telemental health policies (e.g., Medicaid reimbursement, private payer laws, professional licensure requirements) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. Then, we will examine state factors (e.g., COVID-19 cases, broadband internet access) explaining these telemental health policies using discrete-time hazard models. The primary quantitative analysis employs a difference-in-difference approach to predict effects on outcome measures using a nationally representative survey of individuals. Using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, we will examine policy effects on (a) access to, use of, and expenditures related to mental health care and (b) mental health outcomes, functioning, and employment. Finally, qualitative methods will be used to obtain feedback from state leaders, administrators, clinicians, and clinic staff members on how state telemental health policy expansion influenced mental health services delivery during the pandemic, with a focus on improving safety-net care. We will use a positive deviance approach to select key partners from 6 “high” and 6 “low” telehealth expansion states for interviews and focus groups.DiscussionThe overall study goal is to better understand the effect of pandemic-related state policy changes around telehealth on patient-reported mental health care access, costs, symptoms, and functioning. By characterizing variations in telehealth policies and their downstream effects, this mixed-methods study aims to inform equitable dissemination, implementation, and sustainment of high-quality telemental health services.
