New York State Statewide COVID-19 Fatalities by County

This dataset includes the cumulative number of healthcare facility-reported fatalities for patients with lab-confirmed COVID-19 disease by reporting date, patient county of residence, and patient fatalities that occurred based on the facility county. This dataset does not include fatalities related to COVID-19 disease that did not occur at a hospital, nursing home, or adult care facility. The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users with information about healthcare facility fatalities among patients with lab-confirmed COVID-19 disease.

The information in this dataset is also updated daily on the NYS COVID-19 Tracker at https://www.ny.gov/covid-19tracker.
The data source for this dataset is the daily COVID-19 survey through the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Health Electronic Response Data System (HERDS). Hospitals, nursing homes, and adult care facilities are required to complete this survey daily. The information from the survey is used for statewide surveillance, planning, resource allocation, and emergency response activities. Hospitals began reporting for the HERDS COVID-19 survey in March 2020, while Nursing Homes and Adult Care Facilities began reporting in April 2020. It is important to note that fatalities related to COVID-19 disease that occurred prior to the first publication dates are also included.

The county fatality numbers in this dataset are calculated by summing the number of fatalities by patient county of residence and reporting date, and patient fatalities that occurred based on the facility county, respectively. The statewide fatality numbers are calculated by summing the number of fatalities across all patient counties of residence, and across all facilities by county, by reporting date, respectively. The fatality numbers represent the cumulative number of fatalities that have been reported as of each reporting date.

本数据集收录了医疗设施上报的、基于实验室确诊的COVID-19疾病患者累计死亡人数，按报告日期、患者居住县及基于设施所在县的死亡人数进行分类。本数据集不包括在医院、养老院或成人护理设施外发生的与COVID-19疾病相关的死亡病例。发布本数据集的主要目标是向用户提供有关实验室确诊的COVID-19疾病患者中医疗设施死亡情况的信息。

该数据集中的信息每日亦在纽约州COVID-19追踪器上更新，网址为https://www.ny.gov/covid-19tracker。本数据集的数据来源为纽约州卫生与公众服务部（NYSDOH）健康电子响应数据系统（HERDS）的每日COVID-19调查。医院、养老院和成人护理设施被要求每日完成此调查。调查信息用于全州范围内的监测、规划、资源配置和应急响应活动。医院于2020年3月开始报告HERDS COVID-19调查，而养老院和成人护理设施则于2020年4月开始报告。值得注意的是，包括首次发布日期之前的与COVID-19疾病相关的死亡病例在内的数据亦被纳入。

本数据集中的县死亡人数是通过分别累加按患者居住县和报告日期统计的死亡人数，以及基于设施所在县的死亡人数来计算的。全州死亡人数是通过分别累加所有患者居住县以及所有设施按县和报告日期的死亡人数来计算的。死亡人数代表截至每个报告日期已报告的累计死亡人数。
