About the data
- the time series starts on 2020-03-31
- updates are made daily, at about 21h ADT (after BC and AB apply their updates)
- the source data resides on this github repo
- the data is (almost always) backed by screenshots of government webpages, to let you verify the data
- for programmers, the data is available as both csv and json files
There are 4 data sets, and 14 jurisdictions (10 provinces, 3 territories, and the federal government):
- total reported deaths to date (cumulative).
- total reported cases to date (cumulative). Confirmed cases plus probable/presumptive cases. Only confirmed cases have a positive test result.
- total completed tests (cumulative). Excludes pending tests. Exception for QC, NL, and NU: this is actually the number of people tested, not the number of tests completed.
- current reported number of hospitalized patients (non-cumulative).
It's important to note that 3 of the 4 data sets are cumulative, and one is not (hospitalizations).
The federal jurisdiction doesn't report on completed-tests or hospitalizations.
