Our World in Data's open dataset of COVID-19 cases, deaths, hospitalizations, tests, and vaccinations for all countries, updated daily until August 2024. The repository is now archived; current data is published via the OWID data catalog and ETL project.
Use cases
- download covid-19 cases and deaths data by country as csv
- analyze global coronavirus vaccination rates over time
- get historical covid testing and hospitalization data for research
- compare pandemic statistics across countries in a notebook
- build a dashboard of covid-19 trends
- cite reliable pandemic data in a paper
When to choose
- you need historical COVID-19 data through mid-2024 for analysis or research
- you want a well-documented, country-level pandemic dataset in CSV/JSON
- you are studying the pandemic retrospectively
When to avoid
- you need up-to-date COVID-19 data after August 2024 - use the OWID data catalog instead
- you need real-time epidemic surveillance
- you need data on diseases other than COVID-19
