DOHMH Covid-19 Milestone Data: New Cases of Covid-19 (7 Day Average)
This dataset shows daily confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 in New York City by date of specimen collection. Total cases has been calculated as the sum of daily confirmed and probable cases. Seven-day averages of confirmed, probable, and total cases are also included in the dataset. A person is classified as a confirmed COVID-19 case if they test positive with a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT, also known as a molecular test; e.g. a PCR test). A probable case is a person who meets the following criteria with no positive molecular test on record: a) test positive with an antigen test, b) have symptoms and an exposure to a confirmed COVID-19 case, or c) died and their cause of death is listed as COVID-19 or similar. As of June 9, 2021, people who meet the definition of a confirmed or probable COVID-19 case >90 days after a previous positive test (date of first positive test) or probable COVID-19 onset date will be counted as a new case. Prior to June 9, 2021, new cases were counted ≥365 days after the first date of specimen collection or clinical diagnosis. Any person with a residence outside of NYC is not included in counts. Data is sourced from electronic laboratory reporting from the New York State Electronic Clinical Laboratory Reporting System to the NYC Health Department. All identifying health information is excluded from the dataset. These data are used to evaluate the overall number of confirmed and probable cases by day (seven day average) to track the trajectory of the pandemic. Cases are classified by the date that the case occurred. NYC COVID-19 data include people who live in NYC. Any person with a residence outside of NYC is not included.

Freshness
The publisher's promise
How the agency that publishes this data says it keeps the data current.
OverdueNo automatic refresh
- Automatic refresh
No scheduled refresh runs for this dataset. A refresh you ask for on this page runs anyway.
The publisher set a regular schedule for this dataset but has not updated it for far longer than that schedule, so the automatic queue skips it. An hourly triage lifts this fence once the publisher updates it again, which takes up to about 7 hours 15 minutes.

Columns
Each source column, with the name and type we use to store it.
The publisher has not provided a data dictionary.
0 of 9 columns carry a concept; 6 carry a description from the publisher. Read the concept column before you join. A column with no concept carries no claim from us, and a name that looks like a key is not one.
