About
Records of Queensland's COVID-19 cases are organised in this line list by the date of notification, including details on the individual's location of usual residence and the identified source of infection. The dataset encompasses geographic indicators such as Postcode, Local Government Area (LGA), and Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), alongside the specific Hospital and Health Service (HHS) area. Location variables are masked as null for cases where the individual does not usually reside in Queensland. Additionally, SA2 data is not available for pathology tests conducted prior to the June 2021 update of the Notifiable Conditions System. As of March 2023, the data incorporates results from the Queensland Public RAT Portal, with duplicates and re-infections integrated following re-evaluation within the Notifiable Conditions System.
