COVID-19: Data

The data presented below reflect the most recent information collected about people who have tested positive for COVID-19 in NYC. We are discouraging people with mild to moderate symptoms from being tested at this time, so the data primarily represent people with more severe illness. All data included below are preliminary and subject to change.

Unless otherwise noted, all of the below information was collected by the NYC Health Department.

This page will be updated daily.

• Data on Public Health Milestones

Cases, Hospitalizations and Deaths

Regarding the data on deaths provided below:

• Confirmed deaths: People who had a positive COVID-19 laboratory test.
• Probable deaths: People who did not have a positive COVID-19 laboratory test, but their death certificate lists as the cause of death "COVID-19" or an equivalent.

Data Collection Differences

The State Department of Health reports data on deaths from:

• The State Hospital Emergency Response Data System
• Daily calls to hospitals and other facilities that are caring for patients, such as nursing homes

The NYC Health Department reports data that reflect both:

• Positive tests for COVID-19 confirmed by laboratories
• Confirmations of a person’s death from the City’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and our Bureau of Vital Statistics, which is responsible for the registration, analysis and reporting of all deaths in the city.

Due to the time required by the City to confirm that a death was due to COVID-19, the City’s reported total for any given day is usually lower than the State’s number.
