Covid-19 Country Level Social Science Dataset

The dataset is a cross-sectional dataset covering social and public health data pertaining to the Covid-19 outbreak in 199 countries. The dataset was compiled from public register and other openly available sources. Data on Covid-19 cases and related fatalities is current as of medio July 2020. Data on other variables is mainly from the last three years, depending on data availability. Standardized unique unit identifiers (ISO-3166-1 Alpha-3) are included, enabling merging with other data. The dataset was assembled concurrently with a similar one on the Norwegian municipal level, as part of the project «Ressurs for studentaktiv læring i undervisning i statistisk og romlig analyse for samfunnsfag», at the Department of Social Science and The Norwegian College of Fishery Science, UiT.
