About
Monitoring national public health interventions across Europe reveals the evolution of pandemic management strategies throughout a global crisis. These records, sourced from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), detail the specific timing and nature of non-pharmaceutical interventions implemented by various governments. By tracking measures such as partial closures of entertainment venues and restrictions on restaurants and cafes, the collection provides an extensive timeline of how thirty different nations navigated the health emergency. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the legislative and social responses to the virus.
Columns
- Country: The name of the European nation, such as the Netherlands or Czechia, implementing the response measure.
- Response_measure: The specific type of public health intervention enacted, including sixty-six unique variations such as partial closures of entertainment venues or restaurant restrictions.
- date_start: The official commencement date for the implementation of the specific response measure.
- date_end: The date on which the intervention concluded or was revised; some entries are marked as NA if the end date was not applicable or recorded.
Distribution
The information is provided in a tabular CSV format within a file named
response_graphs_data_2022-08-25.csv, which is approximately 110.52 kB in size. The collection contains 2,021 valid records and exhibits high data integrity with 100% validity across the core columns. It is maintained as a static archive with no future updates expected, and holds a usability score of 10.00.Usage
This resource is ideal for conducting comparative research into the timing of national lockdowns and their correlation with infection trends. It is well-suited for building visualisations of policy shifts across the European continent. Additionally, researchers can use the data to perform time-series analysis to see how different types of measures were phased in and out during various waves of the pandemic.
Coverage
The geographic scope focuses on thirty unique European countries. Temporally, the data spans from 27 January 2020 to 22 July 2022, capturing more than two years of policy changes. This range covers the initial onset of the pandemic through to the later stages of management and reopening.
