COVID-19 Case Reports in China

Chinese prefectural level governments started to report daily confirmed COVID-19 cases online, starting from January 2020. The disclosures may contain the mobility, potential exposure scenario, epidemiological characteristics, and other useful information of individual cases. We organized a group of content coders since early March 2020, kept monitoring the information updates, manually extracted useful information from the public disclosures, and compiled these datasets.We welcome any form of collaborations with us and non-commercial reuse of our dataset. We highly encourage interested parties to examine the data, report errors in our coding, and help us to keep the data updated.The detailed data description can be found on SSRN preprint server https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3705815.

自2020年1月起，中国地级市政府开始在线每日通报新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）确诊病例。此类公开通报信息可能涵盖个别病例的活动轨迹、潜在暴露场景、流行病学特征及其他有价值的关联信息。2020年3月初，我们组建了内容编码团队，持续跟踪相关信息的更新动态，从公开通报中手动提取有效信息并汇编形成本数据集。我们欢迎各类形式的合作，并允许非商业性复用本数据集。我们诚挚鼓励有兴趣的各方对数据进行核查、反馈编码过程中发现的错误，并协助我们持续更新数据集。本数据集的详细说明可在SSRN预印本服务器https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3705815中查阅。
