COVID19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented event in our most recent history and one that continues to affect our lives over 3 years later. The daily number of cases and deaths in different countries around the world paints a picture of unpreparedness and global disparity in the context of healthcare quality and access to it.

Data Usage

The data can be used by medical researchers, government policy analysts, university students and professors as well as those in the medical technology field. It will unlock insights and offer crucial information for those:

• Assessing the effectiveness of public health measures, such as lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccination campaigns, in controlling the spread of the virus;
• Analysing disparities in COVID-19 outcomes, including variations in infection rates, mortality rates, and access to healthcare services across different populations and geographic regions;
• Understanding the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic, including disruptions to employment, education, and mental health, and identifying strategies for mitigating these impacts.

Where to go next

The data on the COVID-19 pandemic intersects deeply with our health policy data, so make sure to explore all relevant datasets and visualisations to gain a full understanding of our research problem.
