COVID-19 Dataset

Key Features of the Dataset

1. Global Coverage

• Country-Level Data: Includes metrics for nearly every country worldwide.
• Regional and State Data: Provides granular details for specific regions, provinces, or states, enabling localized analysis.

2. Critical Pandemic Metrics

• Confirmed Cases: Track total reported infections over time.
• Active Cases: Current ongoing infections in specific regions.
• Recovered Cases: Total number of recoveries recorded globally or locally.
• Fatalities: Comprehensive data on total deaths attributed to COVID-19.
• Case Fatality Rate (CFR): Calculate the percentage of cases resulting in fatalities.

3. Testing and Vaccination Data

• Testing Rates: Data on diagnostic and screening tests conducted by region.
• Vaccination Coverage: Information on vaccine distribution, coverage rates, and fully vaccinated populations.

4. Preventive Measures and Policies

• Lockdown Measures: Data on regional restrictions and policies like curfews, travel bans, and social distancing mandates.
• Public Health Interventions: Details on mask mandates, quarantine measures, and emergency healthcare responses.
