COVID DATASET - OUR WORLD IN DATA

The variables represent all of our main data related to confirmed cases, deaths, hospitalizations, and testing, as well as other variables of potential interest.

Confirmed cases

Variable Description
total_cases Total confirmed cases of COVID-19. Counts can include probable cases, where reported.

Tests & positivity

On 23 June 2022, we stopped adding new datapoints to our COVID-19 testing dataset. You can read more at https://github.com/owid/covid-19-data/discussions/2667.

total_tests Total tests for COVID-19
new_tests New tests for COVID-19 (only calculated for consecutive days)
total_tests_per_thousand Total tests for COVID-19 per 1,000 people
new_tests_per_thousand New tests for COVID-19 per 1,000 people
new_tests_smoothed New tests for COVID-19 (7-day smoothed). For countries that don't report testing data on a daily basis, we assume that testing changed equally on a daily basis over any periods in which no data was reported. This produces a complete series of daily figures, which is then averaged over a rolling 7-day window
new_tests_smoothed_per_thousand New tests for COVID-19 (7-day smoothed) per 1,000 people
positive_rate The share of COVID-19 tests that are positive, given as a rolling 7-day average (this is the inverse of tests_per_case)
tests_per_case Tests conducted per new confirmed case of COVID-19, given as a rolling 7-day average (this is the inverse of positive_rate)
tests_units Units used by the location to report its testing data. A country file can't contain mixed units. All metrics concerning testing data use the specified test unit. Valid units are 'people tested' (number of people tested), 'tests performed' (number of tests performed. a single person can be tested more than once in a given day) and 'samples tested' (number of samples tested. In some cases, more than one sample may be required to perform a given test.)

Vaccinations

Variable Description
total_vaccinations Total number of COVID-19 vaccination doses administered
people_vaccinated Total number of people who received at least one vaccine dose
people_fully_vaccinated Total number of people who received all doses prescribed by the initial vaccination protocol
total_boosters Total number of COVID-19 vaccination booster doses administered (doses administered beyond the number prescribed by the vaccination protocol)
new_vaccinations New COVID-19 vaccination doses administered (only calculated for consecutive days)
new_vaccinations_smoothed New COVID-19 vaccination doses administered (7-day smoothed). For countries that don't report vaccination data on a daily basis, we assume that vaccination changed equally on a daily basis over any periods in which no data was reported. This produces a complete series of daily figures, which is then averaged over a rolling 7-day window
total_vaccinations_per_hundred Total number of COVID-19 vaccination doses administered per 100 people in the total population
people_vaccinated_per_hundred Total number of people who received at least one vaccine dose per 100 people in the total population
people_fully_vaccinated_per_hundred Total number of people who received all doses prescribed by the initial vaccination protocol per 100 people in the total population
total_boosters_per_hundred Total number of COVID-19 vaccination booster doses administered per 100 people in the total population
new_vaccinations_smoothed_per_million New COVID-19 vaccination doses administered (7-day smoothed) per 1,000,000 people in the total population
new_people_vaccinated_smoothed Daily number of people receiving their first vaccine dose (7-day smoothed)
new_people_vaccinated_smoothed_per_hundred Daily number of people receiving their first vaccine dose (7-day smoothed) per 100 people in the total population
