Note: DPH is updating and streamlining the COVID-19 cases, deaths, and testing data. As of 6/27/2022, the data will be published in four tables instead of twelve. The COVID-19 Cases, Deaths, and Tests by Day dataset contains cases and test data by date of sample submission. The death data are by date of death. This dataset is updated daily and contains information back to the beginning of the pandemic. The data can be found at https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-Cases-Deaths-and-Tests-by-Day/g9vi-2ahj. The COVID-19 State Metrics dataset contains over 93 columns of data. This dataset is updated daily and currently contains information starting June 21, 2022 to the present. The data can be found at https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-State-Level-Data/qmgw-5kp6 . The COVID-19 County Metrics dataset contains 25 columns of data. This dataset is updated daily and currently contains information starting June 16, 2022 to the present. The data can be found at https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-County-Level-Data/ujiq-dy22 . The COVID-19 Town Metrics dataset contains 16 columns of data. This dataset is updated daily and currently contains information starting June 16, 2022 to the present. The data can be found at https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-Town-Level-Data/icxw-cada . To protect confidentiality, if a town has fewer than 5 cases or positive NAAT tests over the past 7 days, those data will be suppressed. COVID-19 cases and associated deaths that have been reported among Connecticut residents, broken down by race and ethnicity. All data in this report are preliminary; data for previous dates will be updated as new reports are received and data errors are corrected. Deaths reported to the either the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) or Department of Public Health (DPH) are included in the COVID-19 update. The following data show the number of COVID-19 cases and associated deaths per 100,000 population by race and ethnicity. Crude rates represent the total cases or deaths per 100,000 people. Age-adjusted rates consider the age of the person at diagnosis or death when estimating the rate and use a standardized population to provide a fair comparison between population groups with different age distributions. Age-adjustment is important in Connecticut as the median age of among the non-Hispanic white population is 47 years, whereas it is 34 years among non-Hispanic blacks, and 29 years among Hispanics. Because most non-Hispanic white residents who died were over 75 years of age, the age-adjusted rates are lower than the unadjusted rates. In contrast, Hispanic residents who died tend to be younger than 75 years of age which results in higher age-adjusted rates. The population data used to calculate rates is based on the CT DPH population statistics for 2019, which is available online here: https://portal.ct.gov/DPH/Health-Information-Systems--Reporting/Population/Population-Statistics. Prior to 5/10/2021, the population estimates from 2018 were used. Rates are standardized to the 2000 US Millions Standard population (data available here: https://seer.cancer.gov/stdpopulations/). Standardization was done using 19 age groups (0, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, ..., 80-84, 85 years and older). More information about direct standardization for age adjustment is available here: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/statnt/statnt06rv.pdf Categories are mutually exclusive. The category “multiracial” includes people who answered ‘yes’ to more than one race category. Counts may not add up to total case counts as data on race and ethnicity may be missing. Age adjusted rates calculated only for groups with more than 20 deaths. Abbreviation: NH=Non-Hispanic. Data on Connecticut deaths were obtained from the Connecticut Deaths Registry maintained by the DPH Office of Vital Records. Cause of death was determined by a death certifier (e.g., physician, APRN, medical

This dataset will be updated on a daily basis. Data are subject to future revision as reporting changes.

Starting in July 2020, this dataset will be updated every weekday.

Additional notes: A delay in the data pull schedule occurred on 06/23/2020. Data from 06/22/2020 was processed on 06/23/2020 at 3:30 PM. The normal data cycle resumed with the data for 06/23/2020.

A network outage on 05/19/2020 resulted in a change in the data pull schedule. Data from 5/19/2020 was processed on 05/20/2020 at 12:00 PM. Data from 5/20/2020 was processed on 5/20/2020 8:30 PM. The normal data cycle resumed on 05/20/2020 with the 8:30 PM data pull. As a result of the network outage, the timestamp on the datasets on the Open Data Portal differs from the timestamp in DPH's daily PDF reports.

In this critical moment, COVID-19 data is being collected, released, analyzed, interpreted, and used to inform recovery and response efforts. D4BL has worked to consolidate state level data to explore the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Black people in the US. The D4BL COVID-19 Dataset captures state-level COVID-19 cases and deaths for Black people in the United States. D4BL established a team of volunteer data scientists to develop a codebase for automating the data extraction from state websites and storing it into this dataset

"The U.S. has now passed the grim milestone of 150,000 coronavirus deaths with Califoria, Florida and Texas all recently setting single-day records for deaths from the pandemic. On July 29, one American was dying from Covid-19 every minute with the total number of infections approaching 4.4 million. Studies have found that men are dying at nearly twice the rate of women in the U.S. while the pandemic is proving especially devastating for black Americans who are dying at nearly three times the rate of white people." https://www.statista.com/chart/22430/coronavirus-deaths-by-race-in-the-us/

"That's according to The COVID Tracking Project who state that 30,648 black lives have been lost to the coronavirus to date, accounting for 23 percent of all U.S. deaths where race is known. The deaths were broken down by race or ethnicity with 74 black Americans dying per 100,000 people compared to 30 white Americans per 100,000 people as of July 30, 2020."

Summary The cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths among Maryland residents by race and ethnicity: African American; White; Hispanic; Asian; Other; Unknown.

Description The MD COVID-19 - Confirmed Deaths by Race and Ethnicity Distribution data layer is a collection of the statewide confirmed and probable COVID-19 related deaths that have been reported each day by the Vital Statistics Administration by categories of race and ethnicity. A death is classified as confirmed if the person had a laboratory-confirmed positive COVID-19 test result. Some data on deaths may be unavailable due to the time lag between the death, typically reported by a hospital or other facility, and the submission of the complete death certificate. Probable deaths are available from the MD COVID-19 - Probable Deaths by Race and Ethnicity Distribution data layer.

South Africa recorded 102595 Coronavirus Deaths since the epidemic began, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, South Africa reported 4072533 Coronavirus Cases. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for South Africa Coronavirus Deaths.

We collected county-level cumulative COVID-19 confirmed cases and death from Mar 25 to Nov 12, 2020, across the contiguous United States from USAFacts (usafacts.org). We considered Mar 25 to Jun 3 as the “1st wave”, Jun 4 to Sep 2 as the “2nd wave”, and Sep 3 to Nov 12 as the “3rd wave” of COVID-19. For the 2nd and 3rd waves, we analyzed the targeted counties in the sunbelt region (including AL, AZ, AR, CA, FL, GA, KS, LA, MS, NV, NM, NC, OK, SC, TX, TN, and UT states) and great plains region (including IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MO, MN, ND, NE, OH, SD, and WI states), respectively. MIR, as a proxy for survival rate, is calculated by dividing the number of confirmed deaths in each county by the confirmed cases in the same county at the same time-period multiplied by 100. MIR ranges from 0%-100%, 100% indicating the worst situation where all confirmed cases have died.

Thirty-eight potential risk factors (covariates), including county-level MR of comorbidities & disorders, demographics & social factors, and environmental factors, were retrieved from the University of Washington Global Health Data Exchange (http://ghdx.healthdata.org/us-data). Comorbidities and disorders include CVD, cardiomyopathy and myocarditis and myocarditis, hypertensive heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, atrial fibrillation, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), lower respiratory infection, interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis, asthma, COPD, ischemia, mesothelioma, tracheal cancer, leukemia, pancreatic cancer, rheumatic disease, drug use disorder, and alcohol use disorder. Demographics & social factors include age, female African American%, female white American%, male African American%, male white American%, Asian%, smokers%, unemployed%, income rate, food insecurity, fair/poor health, and uninsured%. Environmental factors include county population density, air quality index (AQI), temperature, and PM. A descriptive table, including all potential risk factors, is provided in Table S1).
