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/trends/data-by-day.csv on a daily basis.

On December 19, 2022, there were 3,553 new cases of COVID-19 in New York 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 cases in New York City from March 8, 2020 to December 19, 2022, by diagnosis date.

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.

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.

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.

As of December 22, 2022, there have been 2.6 million cases of COVID-19 in New York City, as well as 200,189 hospitalizations, and 37,452 deaths. This statistic shows the number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in New York City as of December 22, 2022.

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.

The death rate in New York City for adults aged 75 years and older was around 4,135 per 100,000 people as of December 22, 2022. The risk of developing more severe illness from COVID-19 increases with age, and the virus also poses a particular threat to people with underlying health conditions.

What is the death toll in NYC? The first coronavirus-related death in New York City was recorded on March 11, 2020. Since then, the total number of confirmed deaths has reached 37,452 while there have been 2.6 million positive tests for the disease. The number of daily new deaths in New York City has fallen sharply since nearly 600 residents lost their lives on April 7, 2020. A significant number of fatalities across New York State have been linked to long-term care facilities that provide support to vulnerable elderly adults and individuals with physical disabilities.

The impact on the counties of New York State Nearly every county in the state of New York has recorded at least one death due to the coronavirus. Outside of New York City, the counties of Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester have confirmed over 11,500 deaths between them. When analyzing the ratio of deaths to county population, Rockland had one of the highest COVID-19 death rates in New York State in 2021. The county, which has approximately 325,700 residents, had a death rate of around 29 per 10,000 people in April 2021.

Aggregation of all city-funded encumbrances coded by agencies as being related to the COVID-19 pandemic, allocated to FMS defined expense types. This data was collected from March 10, 2020 through June 29, 2021 and is no longer being updated.

This dataset shows the number of hospital admissions for influenza-like illness, pneumonia, or include ICD-10-CM code (U07.1) for 2019 novel coronavirus. Influenza-like illness is defined as a mention of either: fever and cough, fever and sore throat, fever and shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, or influenza. Patients whose ICD-10-CM code was subsequently assigned with only an ICD-10-CM code for influenza are excluded. Pneumonia is defined as mention or diagnosis of pneumonia. Baseline data represents the average number of people with COVID-19-like illness who are admitted to the hospital during this time of year based on historical counts. The average is based on the daily avg from the rolling same week (same day +/- 3 days) from the prior 3 years. Percent change data represents the change in count of people admitted compared to the previous day. Data sources include all hospital admissions from emergency department visits in NYC. Data are collected electronically and transmitted to the NYC Health Department hourly. This dataset is updated daily. All identifying health information is excluded from the dataset.

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.

In the state of New York, Richmond and Rockland have the highest coronavirus case rates when adjusted for the population of a county. Rockland County had around 1,404 positive cases per 10,000 people as of April 19, 2021.

The five boroughs of NYC With around 894,400 positive infections as of mid-April 2021, New York City has the highest number of coronavirus cases in New York State – this means that there were approximately 1,065 cases per 10,000 people. New York City is composed of five boroughs; each borough is coextensive with a county of New York State. Staten Island is the smallest in terms of population, but it is the borough with the highest rate of COVID-19 cases.

Public warned against complacency The number of new COVID-19 cases in New York City spiked for the second time as the winter holiday season led to an increase in social gatherings. New York State is slowly recovering – indoor dining reopened in February 2021 – but now is not the time for people to become complacent. Despite the positive rollout of vaccines, experts have urged citizens to adhere to guidelines and warned that face masks might have to be worn for at least another year.

Daily summary of citywide and agency COVID-19 related encumbrances. This data was collected from March 10, 2020 through June 29, 2021 and is no longer being updated.

Of the five boroughs of New York City, Stanten Island has the highest rate of coronavirus cases per 100,000 people. Brooklyn – the most populous borough – has around 36,008 cases per 100,000 people, and only Manhattan has a lower case rate.

Brooklyn hit hard by COVID-19 Towards the middle of December 2022, there had been almost 6.37 million positive infections in New York State, and Kings was the county with the highest number of coronavirus cases. Kings County, which has the same boundaries as the borough of Brooklyn, had also recorded the highest number of deaths due to the coronavirus in New York State. Since the start of the pandemic in the U.S., densely populated neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens have been severely affected, and government leaders across New York State have had to find solutions to some unprecedented challenges.

This dashboard provides a snapshot of several key measurements of COVID-19's impact on New York City, including total cases, case growth, hospitalizations, deaths, and the distribution of positive COVID-19 tests across the City by ZIP Code.The dashboard features data maintained by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and published for public use at https://github.com/nychealth/coronavirus-data. Please consult the README file for data definitions and notes on proper use and interpretation.DOHMH updates data in this repository on a daily basis, but not all datasets are updated every day.

This dataset contains information on antibody testing for COVID-19: the number of people who received a test, the number of people with positive results, the percentage of people tested who tested positive, and the rate of testing per 100,000 people, stratified by ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) neighborhood poverty group. These data can also be accessed here: https://github.com/nychealth/coronavirus-data/blob/master/totals/antibody-by-poverty.csv Exposure to COVID-19 can be detected by measuring antibodies to the disease in a person’s blood, which can indicate that a person may have had an immune response to the virus. Antibodies are proteins produced by the body’s immune system that can be found in the blood. People can test positive for antibodies after they have been exposed, sometimes when they no longer test positive for the virus itself. It is important to note that the science around COVID-19 antibody tests is evolving rapidly and there is still much uncertainty about what individual antibody test results mean for a single person and what population-level antibody test results mean for understanding the epidemiology of COVID-19 at a population level. These data only provide information on people tested. People receiving an antibody test do not reflect all people in New York City; therefore, these data may not reflect antibody prevalence among all New Yorkers. Increasing instances of screening programs further impact the generalizability of these data, as screening programs influence who and how many people are tested over time. Examples of screening programs in NYC include: employers screening their workers (e.g., hospitals), and long-term care facilities screening their residents. In addition, there may be potential biases toward people receiving an antibody test who have a positive result because people who were previously ill are preferentially seeking testing, in addition to the testing of persons with higher exposure (e.g., health care workers, first responders.) Neighborhood-level poverty groups were classified in a manner consistent with Health Department practices to describe and monitor disparities in health in NYC. Neighborhood poverty measures are defined as the percentage of people earning below the Federal Poverty Threshold (FPT) within a ZCTA. The standard cut-points for defining categories of neighborhood-level poverty in NYC are: • Low: <10% of residents in ZCTA living below the FPT • Medium: 10% to <20% • High: 20% to <30% • Very high: ≥30% residents living below the FPT The ZCTAs used for classification reflect the first non-missing address within NYC for each person reported with an antibody test result. Rates were calculated using interpolated intercensal population estimates updated in 2019. These rates differ from previously reported rates based on the 2000 Census or previous versions of population estimates. The Health Department produced these population estimates based on estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau and NYC Department of City Planning. Rates for poverty were calculated using direct standardization for age at diagnosis and weighting by the US 2000 standard population. Antibody tests are categorized based on the date of specimen collection and are aggregated by full weeks starting each Sunday and ending on Saturday. For example, a person whose blood was collected for antibody testing on Wednesday, May 6 would be categorized as tested during the week ending May 9. A person tested twice in one week would only be counted once in that week. This dataset includes testing data beginning April 5, 2020. Data are updated daily, and the dataset preserves historical records and source data changes, so each extract date reflects the current copy of the data as of that date. For example, an extract date of 11/04/2020 and extract date of 11/03/2020 will both contain all records as they were as of that extract date. Without filtering or grouping by extract date, an analysis will almost certain

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.

These COVID data were compiled from the New York City collection of COVID data. The data span March - October 2020, and are compiled at the ZIP code level. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page

IntroductionOur study explores how New York City (NYC) communities of various socioeconomic strata were uniquely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsNew York City ZIP codes were stratified into three bins by median income: high-income, middle-income, and low-income. Case, hospitalization, and death rates obtained from NYCHealth were compared for the period between March 2020 and April 2022.ResultsCOVID-19 transmission rates among high-income populations during off-peak waves were higher than transmission rates among low-income populations. Hospitalization rates among low-income populations were higher during off-peak waves despite a lower transmission rate. Death rates during both off-peak and peak waves were higher for low-income ZIP codes.DiscussionThis study presents evidence that while high-income areas had higher transmission rates during off-peak periods, low-income areas suffered greater adverse outcomes in terms of hospitalization and death rates. The importance of this study is that it focuses on the social inequalities that were amplified by the pandemic.

As of December 22, 2022, those aged 18 to 24 years had the highest rates of COVID-19 in New York City. The state of New York has been one of the hardest hit U.S. states by the COVID-19 pandemic. This statistic shows rates of COVID-19 cases in New York City by age group, as of December 22, 2022.
