About
This data product provides Official UK Government COVID-19 Data, crucial for monitoring the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus across the United Kingdom and facilitating comparative analysis, particularly alongside other European nations. The collection includes daily statistics for new cases, cumulative case counts, and deaths recorded within 28 days of a positive test. Vaccination figures, specifically cumulative totals for first and second doses, are also included. The objective of curating this data is to offer useful statistical metrics to the wider community and assist individuals in enhancing their data science skills.

While the number of records varies across the files, the sample data for English Regions contains thousands of valid entries.
Usage
This dataset is ideal for public health research, particularly for tracking the trajectory of the pandemic and its regional variance. It supports comparative analysis of the virus's spread and mortality figures across different UK areas. It is valuable for sociological studies examining governmental responses and regional health impacts. Furthermore, it serves as an excellent resource for developing and testing data science skills.
Coverage
