New York State Statewide COVID-19 Testing

This dataset includes information on the number of positive tests of individuals for COVID-19 infection performed in New York State beginning March 1, 2020, when the first case of COVID-19 was identified in the state. The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users timely information about local disease spread and reporting of positive cases. The data will be updated daily, reflecting tests reported by 12:00 am (midnight) three days prior. Data are published on a three-day lag in order to allow all test results to be reported.

Reporting of SARS-CoV2 laboratory testing results is mandated under Part 2 of the New York State Sanitary Code. Clinical laboratories, as defined in Public Health Law (PHL) § 571 electronically report test results to the New York State Department of Health (DOH) via the Electronic Clinical Laboratory Reporting System (ECLRS). The DOH Division of Epidemiology’s Bureau of Surveillance and Data System (BSDS) monitors ECLRS reporting and ensures that all results are accurate.

Test counts are based on specimen collection date. A person may have multiple specimens tested on one day, these would be counted one time, i.e., if two specimens are collected from an individual at the same time and then evaluated, the outcome of the evaluation of those two samples to diagnose the individual is counted as a single test of one person, even though the specimens may be tested separately. All positive test results that are at least 90 days apart are counted as cases/new positives.

New positive test counts are assigned to a county based on this order of preference: 1) the patient’s address, 2) the ordering healthcare provider/campus address, or 3) the ordering facility/campus address.

本数据集收录了自2020年3月1日起在纽约州进行的COVID-19感染个体阳性检测数量信息，该日期为该州首次确诊COVID-19病例的时间。发布本数据集的主要目的是为用户提供关于当地疾病传播及阳性病例报告的及时信息。数据将每日更新，反映三天前午夜12点（凌晨）之前报告的检测结果。数据发布存在三天滞后，以便确保所有检测结果均得到报告。
SARS-CoV2实验室检测结果的报告是纽约州卫生法规第二部分的规定。临床实验室（如公共卫生法第571条所述）通过电子临床实验室报告系统（ECLRS）向纽约州卫生部门（DOH）报告检测结果。DOH流行病学部的疾病监测与数据系统局（BSDS）负责监测ECLRS报告，并确保所有结果均准确无误。
测试数量基于标本采集日期。同一天内，一人可能有多份标本接受检测，这些标本将被计为一次检测，即如果从同一时间采集一个人的两份标本并进行评估，则这两份样本的诊断评估结果被计为一个人的单一检测，即使这些标本可能被分别检测。所有间隔至少90天的阳性检测结果均被计为病例/新阳性。
新阳性检测数量根据以下优先顺序分配至相应县：1）患者的地址，2）开具医疗服务的提供者/校园地址，或3）开具设施的地址。
