Items corresponding to entire populations or subpopulations. Might be geographically or temporally temporally limited.

population

The dashboard includes COVID-19 cases and deaths across the world both by WHO regions and by Country. It provides both daily case and death counts, but also hospitalization and vaccination data. Data is based on information reported to the WHO and can be downloaded in CSV format. The dashboard contains also additional information on tests, variants and link to other resources about wastewater data.

WHO Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Dashboard

A species of BETACORONAVIRUS causing atypical respiratory disease (COVID-19) in humans. The organism was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China. The natural host is the Chinese intermediate horseshoe bat, RHINOLOPHUS affinis.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2

SARS-CoV2

Information about diagnostic tests, results, including serology tests, PCR, and other tests

diagnostic tests

Tests

An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the site of reproduction of an organism of a different taxon.

host organism

Host

Homo sapiens

A disease is a disposition (i) to undergo pathological processes that (ii) exists in an organism because of one or more disorders in that organism.

disease

Disease

A disease whose physical basis is an infectious disorder

infectious disease

Infectious Disease

viral Infectious disease

Viruses Infection

 A count of simulated or physical individuals in a population.

Population count

Population Count

A data set that is about either some mortality rate or the death events themselves of some individuals of a given population of a particular biological taxon.

mortality data

Mortality

a dataset that is about two or more hospital stays involving two or more patients.

hospital stay dataset

Hospitalization

A respiratory tract infection caused by a virus. Viruses represent the most common causes of upper and lower respiratory tract infections and include rhinoviruses, influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses, and respiratory syncytial virus.

viral respiratory tract infection

Viral Respiratory Tract Infection

A census that is the specific outcome of a population demographic survey.

population demographic census

Population Demographic

Minute infectious agents whose genomes are composed of DNA or RNA, but not both. They are characterized by a lack of independent metabolism and the inability to replicate outside living host cells.

Viruses

a census of infectious disease control strategies put into place to reduce infection acquisitions that are part of an infection in an ecosystem.

control strategy census

Control Strategy

a population treatment census that is about one or more vaccinations of organisms in a population

vaccination administration census

Vaccination Administration

cumulative death count

Cumulative Death Count

A count of individuals in a population who meet the criteria of some case definition during some time interval.

Case Count

A count of deaths in a population that is the number of deaths that occurred during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident death count

Incident Death Count

A count of hospital stays in a population that is the total number of hospitalizations that occur during a reference temporal interval.

cumulative hospitalization count

Cumulative Hospitalization

A count of hospital stays in a population that is the number of hospital stays that occurred during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident hospitalization count

Incident Hospitalization

A count of cases in a population that is the number of individuals who come to meet the criteria of some case definition during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident case count

Incident Case Count

A count of disease cases that is the total number of individuals who come to meet the criteria of some case definition during a reference temporal interval.

cumulative case count

Cumulative Case Count

age-stratified

Age-Stratified

cumulative vaccination count

Cumulative Vaccination

Vaccine preventable diseases are those infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccination

vaccine-preventable Disease

Vaccine-Preventable Disease

A treatment that consists of the administration of antigenic material to stimulate an individual's immune system to develop adaptive immunity to a pathogen.

vaccination

Vaccination

A population or type of organisms that is genetically different from others of the same species and possessing a set of defined characteristics.

Organism Strain

An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the bearer of an infectious dispositions towards an organism of a different particular biological taxon.
