About
This dataset offers worldwide COVID-19 data, updated daily at 6 AM UTC, sourced from the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU) COVID-19 Data Repository. It provides key information on confirmed cases and fatalities at both country-level and by US county. The data is available in two forms: a raw version, which is an exact replica of the initial JHU dataset, and a more convenient version. The convenient format simplifies analysis by grouping data by column, extracting metadata into a separate file, and presenting daily changes rather than cumulative totals.
