About
This dataset provides a detailed overview of the COVID-19 situation in Japan, tracking the number of novel coronavirus cases and vaccination efforts across the nation. It includes total case counts for Japan, the number of vaccinated individuals (first, second, and third doses), and case figures at the prefecture level. Additionally, it offers metadata for each prefecture, encompassing demographic, geographical, and healthcare infrastructure details. This collection is ideal for understanding the pandemic's progression and impact within Japan, though it specifically excludes cases from the Diamond Princess and Costa Atlantica cruise ships. It serves as a valuable resource for analysing epidemic trends and informing public health strategies.
Columns
The dataset is structured across three primary files:
covid_jpn_total.csv:- Cumulative number of cases: Includes counts for PCR-tested individuals, those PCR-tested and positive, cases with symptoms (up to 08 May 2020), cases without symptoms (up to 08 May 2020), unknown symptom status (up to 08 May 2020), discharged patients, and fatal cases.
- Number of cases: Covers individuals requiring hospitalisation (from 09 May 2020), those hospitalised with mild symptoms (up to 08 May 2020), severe symptoms, unknown severity (up to 08 May 2020), and those requiring hospitalisation but waiting in hotels or at home (up to 08 May 2020).
- Vaccinated_1st: Number of persons who received their first vaccine dose on a given date.
- Vaccinated_2nd: Number of persons who received their second vaccine dose on a given date.
- Vaccinated_3rd: Number of persons who received their third vaccine dose on a given date. (Note: Some variables from primary sources were removed on 09 May 2020 and appear as NA from that date.)
covid_jpn_prefecture.csv:- Cumulative number of cases: Covers PCR-tested individuals, those PCR-tested and positive, discharged patients, and fatal cases.
- Number of cases: Includes individuals requiring hospitalisation (from 09 May 2020) and those hospitalised with severe symptoms (from 09 May 2020).
