Download historical data (to 14 December 2020) on the daily number of new reported COVID-19 cases and deaths worldwide (original) (raw)
Please note that this file is no longer being updated.
ECDC switched to a weekly reporting schedule for the COVID-19 situation worldwide and in the EU/EEA and the UK on 17 December 2020.
ECDC’s decision to discontinue daily data collection is based on the fact that the daily number of cases is frequently subject to retrospective corrections, delays in reporting and/or clustered reporting of data for several days. Consequently, day to day variations in the number of cases does not constitute a valid basis for policy decisions. ECDC continues to monitor events and reports of concern through its epidemic intelligence, and will disseminate important information arising from this activity as and when relevant to inform public health action.
Hence, all daily updates have been discontinued from 14 December. Weekly updates on the number of cases and deaths reported worldwide and aggregated by week are published every Thursday. The weekly data is available as downloadable files in the following formats: XLSX, CSV, JSON and XML.
