NSW COVID-19 tests by location (discontinued)

From 20 October 2023, COVID-19 datasets will no longer be updated. \r\nDetailed information is available in the fortnightly NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/reports.aspx. \r\nLatest national COVID-19 spread, vaccination and treatment metrics are available on the Australian Government Health website: https://www.health.gov.au/topics/covid-19/reporting?language=und \r\n\r\nCOVID-19 tests by date and postcode, local health district, and local government area. \r\n\r\nThe data is for COVID-19 tests and is based on the Local Health District (LHD) and Local Government Area (LGA) of residence provided by the individual at time of testing. A surge in total number of tests performed on a particular day may occur as the test results are updated in batches and new laboratories gain testing capacity. \r\n\r\nThe underlying dataset was assessed to measure the risk of identifying an individual and the level of sensitivity of the information gained if it was known that an individual was in the dataset. The dataset was then treated to mitigate these risks, including suppressing and aggregating data.

自2023年10月20日起，新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）数据集将不再更新。详细信息可查阅每两周发布一期的新南威尔士州（New South Wales, NSW）呼吸道监测报告：https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/reports.aspx。澳大利亚联邦政府卫生官网可获取最新的全国新冠疫情传播、疫苗接种及治疗相关统计指标：https://www.health.gov.au/topics/covid-19/reporting?language=und

本数据集涵盖按检测日期、邮政编码、地方卫生辖区及地方政府区域划分的新冠病毒检测数据。

本数据集的新冠病毒检测数据，基于受检者在检测时提供的居住地所属地方卫生辖区（Local Health District, LHD）与地方政府区域（Local Government Area, LGA）进行分类统计。单日检测总量出现激增的情况，可能因检测结果分批更新，以及新增实验室获得检测能力所致。

我们对本基础数据集进行了风险评估，以衡量识别个体的可能性，以及若已知某个体包含于本数据集时，所获取信息的敏感程度。随后通过数据隐去、聚合等处理手段，降低了上述潜在风险。
