This repository contains datasets of daily time-series data related to COVID-19 for 50+ countries around the world. The data is at the spatial resolution of states/provinces for most regions and at county/municipality resolution for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, United Kingdom, and USA. All regions are assigned a unique location key, which resolves discrepancies between ISO / NUTS / FIPS codes, etc. The different aggregation levels are:
- 0: Country
- 1: Province, state, or local equivalent
- 2: Municipality, county, or local equivalent
- 3: Locality which may not follow strict hierarchical order, such as "city" or "nursing homes in X location"
There are multiple types of data:
- Outcome data
Y(i,t), such as cases, deaths, tests, for regions i and time t - Static covariate data
X(i), such as population size, GDP, latitude/ longitude - Dynamic covariate data
X(i,t), such as mobility, weather - Dynamic interventional data
A(i,t), such as government lockdowns
The data is drawn from multiple sources, as listed below, and stored in separate csv / json files, which can be easily merged due to the use of consistent geographic (and temporal) keys.

1 key is a unique string for the specific geographical region built from a combination
of codes such as ISO 3166, NUTS, FIPS and other local equivalents.
2 Refer to the data sources for specifics about each data source and
the associated terms of use.
3 Datasets without a date column contain the most recently reported information for
each datapoint to date.
For more information about how to use these files see the section about using the data, and for more details about each dataset see the section about understanding the data.
There are many other public COVID-19 datasets. However, we believe this dataset is unique in the way that it merges multiple global sources, at a fine spatial resolution, using a consistent set of region keys. We hope this will make it easier for researchers to use. We are also very transparent about the data sources, and the code for ingesting and merging the data is easy to understand and modify.

Reproduction Live lets you track COVID-19 outbreaks in your region and visualise the spread of the virus over time:  |
The data is available as CSV and JSON files, which are published in Github Pages so they can be served directly to Javascript applications without the need of a proxy to set the correct headers for CORS and content type. Even if you only want the CSV files, using the URL served by Github Pages is preferred in order to avoid caching issues and potential, future breaking changes.
For the purpose of making the data as easy to use as possible, there is a main table
which contains the columns of all other tables joined by key and date. However,
performance-wise, it may be better to download the data separately and join the tables locally.
Each region has its own version of the main table, so you can pull all the data for a specific region using a single endpoint, the URL for each region is:
- Data for
keyin CSV format:https://storage.googleapis.com/covid19-open-data/v2/${key}/main.csv - Data for
keyin JSON format:https://storage.googleapis.com/covid19-open-data/v2/${key}/main.json
Each table has a full version as well as subsets with only the last 30, 14, 7 and 1 days of data. The full version is accessible at the URL described in the table above. The subsets can be found by appending the number of days to the path. For example, the subsets of the main table are available at the following locations:
- Full version: https://storage.googleapis.com/covid19-open-data/v2/main.csv
- Latest: https://storage.googleapis.com/covid19-open-data/v2/latest/main.csv
Note that the latest version contains the last non-null record for each key, whereas all others
contain the last N days of data (all of which could be null for some keys). All of the above
listed tables have a corresponding JSON version; simply replace csv with json in the link.
If you are trying to use this data alongside your own datasets, then you can use the Index table to get access to the ISO 3166 / NUTS / FIPS code, although administrative subdivisions are not consistent among all reporting regions. For example, for the intra-country reporting, some EU countries use NUTS2, others NUTS3 and many ISO 3166-2 codes.
You can find several examples in the examples subfolder with code showcasing how to load and analyze the data for several programming environments. If you want the short version, here are a few snippets to get started.
This dataset is part of the BigQuery Public Datasets Program, so you may use BigQuery to run SQL queries directly from the online query editor.
You can use Google Colab if you want to run your analysis without having to install anything in your computer, simply go to this URL: https://colab.research.google.com/github/open-covid-19/data.
You can import the data directly into Google Sheets, as long as you stay within the size limits. For instance, the following formula loads the latest epidemiology data into the current sheet:
=IMPORTDATA("https://storage.googleapis.com/covid19-open-data/v2/latest/epidemiology.csv")Note that Google Sheets has a size limitation, so only data from the latest subfolder can be
imported automatically. To work around that, simply download the file and import it via the File
menu.
If you prefer R, then this is all you need to do to load the epidemiology data:
data <- read.csv("https://storage.googleapis.com/covid19-open-data/v2/main.csv")In Python, you need to have the package pandas installed to get started:
import pandas
data = pandas.read_csv("https://storage.googleapis.com/covid19-open-data/v2/main.csv")Loading the JSON file using jQuery can be done directly from the output folder,
this code snippet loads the epidemiology table into the data variable:
$.getJSON("https://storage.googleapis.com/covid19-open-data/v2/epidemiology.json", data => { ... }You can also use Powershell to get the latest data for a country directly from the command line, for example to query the latest epidemiology data for Australia:
Invoke-WebRequest 'https://storage.googleapis.com/covid19-open-data/v2/latest/epidemiology.csv' | ConvertFrom-Csv | `
where key -eq 'AU' | select date,total_confirmed,total_deceased,total_recoveredMake sure that you are using the URL linked at the table above and not the raw GitHub file, the latter is subject to change at any moment in non-compatible ways, and due to the configuration of GitHub's raw file server you may run into potential caching issues.
Missing values will be represented as nulls, whereas zeroes are used when a true value of zero is reported.
Flat table with records from all other tables joined by key and date. See below for information
about all the different tables and columns. Tables not included in the main table are:
- WorldBank: A subset of individual indicators are added as columns to other tables instead; for example, the health table.
- WorldPop: Age and sex demographics breakdowns are normalized and added to the demographics table instead.
- By Age: Age breakdowns of epidemiology and hospitalization data are normalized and added to the by-age-normalized table instead (TABLE TO BE ADDED).
- By Sex: Sex breakdowns of epidemiology and hospitalization data are normalized and added to the by-sex-normalized table instead (TABLE TO BE ADDED).

1Values can be negative, typically indicating a correction or an adjustment in the way
they were measured. For example, a case might have been incorrectly flagged as recovered one date so
it will be subtracted from the following date.
2When the reporting authority makes a distinction between PCR and antibody testing, only
PCR tests are reported here.
3Total count will not always amount to the sum of daily counts, because many authorities
make changes to criteria for counting cases, but not always make adjustments to the data. There is
also potential missing data. All of that makes the total counts drift away from the sum of all
daily counts over time, which is why the cumulative values, if reported, are kept in a separate
column.

Most recent value for each indicator of the WorldBank Database.
| Name | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | string |
Unique string identifying the region | ES |
${indicator} |
double |
Value of the indicator corresponding to this column, column name is indicator code | 0 |
Refer to the WorldBank documentation for more details, or refer to the
worldbank_indicators.csv file for a short description of each
indicator. Each column uses the indicator code as its name, and the rows are filled with the values
for the corresponding key.
Note that WorldBank data is only available at the country level and it's not included in the main table. If no values are reported by WorldBank for the country since 2015, the row value will be null.
Demographics data extracted from WorldPop, estimating total number of people per region broken down by age and sex groupings.
| Name | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | string |
Unique string identifying the region | ES |
${sex}_${age_bin} |
double |
Total number of people categorized as ${sex} (m or f) in age bin ${age_bin} |
1334716 |
Refer to the WorldPop documentation for more details. This data is normalized into buckets that are consistent with other tables and added into the demographics table; it is kept as a separate table to preserve access to the original data without any modification beyond aggregation by regional unit.
Epidemiology and hospitalizations data stratified by age:
| Name | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| date | string |
ISO 8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD) of the datapoint | 2020-03-30 |
| key | string |
Unique string identifying the region | FR |
${statistic}_age_bin_${index} |
integer |
Value of ${statistic} for age bin ${index} |
139 |
age_bin_${index} |
integer |
Range for the age values inside of bin ${index}, both ends inclusive |
30-39 |
Values in this table are stratified versions of the columns available in the
epidemiology and hospitalizatons tables. Each row contains up
to 10 distinct bins, for example:
{new_deceased_age_00: 1, new_deceased_age_01: 45, ... , new_deceased_age_09: 32}.
Each row may have different bins, depending on the data source. This table tries to capture the raw
data with as much fidelity as possible up to 10 bins. The range of each bin is encoded into the
age_bin_${index} variable, for example:
{age_bin_00: 0-9, age_bin_01: 10-19, age_bin_02: 20-29, ... , age_bin_09: 90-}.
Several things worth noting about this table:
- This table contains very sparse data, with very few combinations of regions and variables available.
- Records without a known age bin are discarded, so the sum of all ages may not necessary amount to the variable from the corresponding table.
- The upper and lower range of the range are inclusive values. For example, range
0-9includes individuals with age zero up to (and including) 9. - A row may have less than 10 bins, but never more than 10. For example:
{age_bin_00: 0-49, age_bin_01: 50-, age_bin_02: null, ...}
Epidemiology and hospitalizations data stratified by sex:
| Name | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| date | string |
ISO 8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD) of the datapoint | 2020-03-30 |
| key | string |
Unique string identifying the region | FR |
${statistic}_sex_male |
integer |
Value of ${statistic} for male individuals |
87 |
${statistic}_sex_female |
integer |
Value of ${statistic} for female individuals |
68 |
Values in this table are stratified versions of the columns available in the
epidemiology and hospitalizatons tables. Each row contains
each variable with either _male or _female suffix:
{new_deceased_male: 45, new_deceased_female: 32, new_tested_male: 45, new_tested_female: 32, ...}.
Several things worth noting about this table:
- This table contains very sparse data, with very few combinations of regions and variables available.
- Records without a known sex are discarded, so the sum of all ages may not necessary amount to the variable from the corresponding table.
For countries where both country-level and subregion-level data is available, the entry which has a
null value for the subregion level columns in the index table indicates upper-level aggregation.
For example, if a data point has values
{country_code: US, subregion1_code: CA, subregion2_code: null, ...} then that record will have
data aggregated at the subregion1 (i.e. state/province) level. If subregion1_codewere null, then
it would be data aggregated at the country level.
Another way to tell the level of aggregation is the aggregation_level of the index table, see
the schema documentation for more details about how to interpret it.
Please note that, sometimes, the country-level data and the region-level data come from different sources so adding up all region-level values may not equal exactly to the reported country-level value. See the data loading tutorial for more information.
There is also a notices.csv file which is manually updated with quirks about the data. The goal is to be able to query by key and date, to get a list of applicable notices to the requested subset.
