Dataset description

Daily official UK Covid data. The data is available per country (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and for different regions in England. The different regions are split into two different files as part of the data is directly gathered by the NHS (National Health Service). The files that contain the word 'nhsregion' in their name, include data related to hospitals only, such as number of admissions or number of people in respirators. The files containing the word 'region' in their name, include the rest of the data, such as number of cases, number of vaccinated people or number of tests performed per day. The next paragraphs describe the columns for the different file types.

NHS Region files

Files related to nhsregion (word 'nhsregion' included in the file name) have the following columns: - "new admissions": new admissions, - "cum admissions": cumulative admissions, - "hospital cases": patients in hospitals, - "ventilator beds": COVID occupied mechanical ventilator beds - "trans_rate_min": minimum transmission rate (R) - "trans_rate_max": maximum transmission rate (R) - "trans_growth_min": transmission rate growth min - "trans_growth_max": transmission rate growth max

It's worth noting that the dataset hasn't been cleaned and it needs cleaning. Also, different files have different null columns. This isn't an error in the dataset but the way different countries and regions report the data.

11th January 2020 Change to vaccination data made available by UK gov - now just cumulative number of vaccines delivered are available for both first and second doses. For the devolved nations the cumulative totals are available for the dates from when given, however for the UK as a whole the total doses given is just on the last date of the index, regardless of when those vaccines were given.

4th January 2020 VACCINATION DATA ADDED - New and Cumulative First Dose Vaccination Data added to UK_National_Total_COVID_Dataset.csv and UK_Devolved_Nations_COVID_Dataset.csv

2nd December 2020:

NEW population, land area and population density data added in file NEW_Official_Population_Data_ONS_mid-2019.csv. This data is scraped from the Office for National Statistics and covers the UK, devolved UK nations, regions and local authorities (boroughs).

20th November 2020:

With European governments struggling with a 'second-wave' of rising cases, hospitalisations and deaths resulting from the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19), I wanted to make a comparative analysis between the data coming out of major European nations since the start of the pandemic.

I started by creating a Sweden COVID-19 dataset and now I'm looking at my own country, the United Kingdom.

The data comes from https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ and I used the Developer's Guide to scrape the data, so it was a fairly simple process. The notebook that scapes the data is public and can be found here. Further information about data collection methodologies and definitions can be found here.

The data includes the overall numbers for the UK as a whole, the numbers for each of the devolved UK nations (Eng, Sco, Wal & NI), English Regions and Upper Tier Local Authorities (UTLA) for all of the UK (what we call Boroughs). I have also included a small table with the populations of the 4 devolved UK nations, used to calculate the death rates per 100,000 population.

As I've said for before - I am not an Epidemiologist, Sociologist or even a Data Scientist. I am actually a Mechanical Engineer! The objective here is to improve my data science skills and maybe provide some useful data to the wider community.

Any questions, comments or suggestions are most welcome! I am open to requests and collaborations! Stay Safe!

This feature service contains COVID-19 data automatically updated from the Public Health England (PHE) API service, daily. Using this API, this service takes the current day request minus two days. Therefore the data will always be two days behind. This is a result of the delay between PHE's specimen date and reporting date.The Polygon Layers, which all contain spatial data, provide information about the latest cumulative figures at three geographies; Local Authority, Regions and Nations. The Tables, which are not spatially aware, provide historical data for each feature. The format of these tables allow you to use the Join tool with the Polygon Layers and create a time enabled layer. This can be used within a dashboard or on the animation tool to view patterns over time.

NHS UK - COVID-19 Daily Deaths

This section contains information on deaths of patients who have died in hospitals in England and had tested positive for COVID-19 at time of death. All deaths are recorded against the date of death rather than the date the deaths were announced. Interpretation of the figures should take into account the fact that totals by date of death, particularly for most recent days, are likely to be updated in future releases. For example as deaths are confirmed as testing positive for COVID-19, as more post-mortem tests are processed and data from them are validated. Any changes are made clear in the daily files.

These figures do not include deaths outside hospital, such as those in care homes. This approach makes it possible to compile deaths data on a daily basis using up to date figures.

Dataset Content

These figures will be updated at 2pm each day and include confirmed cases reported at 5pm the previous day. Confirmation of COVID-19 diagnosis, death notification and reporting in central figures can take up to several days and the hospitals providing the data are under significant operational pressure. This means that the totals reported at 5pm on each day may not include all deaths that occurred on that day or on recent prior days.

The original dataset is sourced directly from the NHS source site, this original dataset is then cleaned and converted to a csv format available for inclusion into a Kaggle notebook.

There are 3 files considered within the data :- 1. Fatalities_by_age_uk 2.Fatalities_by_region_uk 3.Fatalities_by_trust_uk

Data runs from March 1st up to the current day. Any discrepancies will be outlined. The first is cumulative for any previous days leading up to of relevance. The following days are not cumulative and represent the updated value for the date under consideration.

A start kernel is provided to demonstrate using the dataset.
