This dataset includes information on all 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 COVID-19 case rates by age group. The data will be updated weekly, reflecting tests reported by 12:00 AM three days prior to the date of the update.

Total positives includes both PCR and antigen positive test results.

Note: This is an updated version of the statewide cases by age dataset that includes all reported cases, both first infections and reinfections. An archived version of the prior dataset, which includes only first infections, is available: https://health.data.ny.gov/d/h8ay-wryy

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.

Archived versions of the reinfections dataset are also available:
First infections - https://health.data.ny.gov/d/xdss-u53e
Reinfections - https://health.data.ny.gov/d/7aaj-cdtu

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.

This dataset includes information at the reporting facility level on patients hospitalized, admitted, discharged and fatalities. It also includes information on staffed beds. Patient information collected as part of the HERDS Hospital Survey are lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive. Hospitalized means patients admitted as inpatients in either inpatient or observation beds and does not include patients that were treated and released from an Emergency Department. The title of this dataset was initially the Hospital Electronic Response Data System (HERDS) Hospital Survey: COVID-19 Hospitalizations and Beds. The dataset was changed to its current title on 11/4/2021.

Dataset includes the unique ID of a sample, the viral concentration in a sample, the concentration of human fecal indicators in samples, flow rates, locations, etc. These data can be used to analyze trends of SARS-CoV-2 concentrations in sewer system on a week-to-week basis and estimate COVID-19 transmission rates.

This dataset contains information extracted from Certificate of Need (CON) applications, Limited Review Applications (LRAs) and Notices submitted by health care and long term care providers licensed by the New York State Department of Health.

This dataset shows the lead testing in school drinking water sampling and results information reported by each NYS public school and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) for Compliance Year 2020.

Public Health Law (Section 110) and New York State (NYS) Department of Health regulation (10 NYCRR 67-4) mandate that NYS public school districts and BOCES test drinking water for lead contamination and report the results to parents, the NYS Department of Health, NY State Education Department, and local health departments. The regulation required school districts and BOCES complete their sampling by the fall of 2016, and test again in 2020, and at least every five years thereafter or at an earlier time as determined by the Commissioner of Health. This dataset shows the results of lead testing in school drinking water reported by each public school district and BOCES for Compliance Year 2020.

This dataset reports daily on the number of people vaccinated by New York providers who have received a dose of the updated COVID-19 vaccine authorized on September 12, 2023. New York providers include hospitals, pharmacies, and other providers registered with the State to serve as points of distribution.

This dataset is created by the New York State Department of Health from data reported to the New York State Immunization Information System (NYSIIS). County-level vaccination data is based on data reported to NYSIIS by the providers administering vaccines. Residency is self-reported by the individual being vaccinated. This dataset includes limited data on vaccines administered through Federal entities (Veterans Health Administration) or performed outside of New York State to New York residents and will not be reflective of every dose administered to New York State residents in those settings. It does not include residents of New York City. NYSIIS data is used for county-level statistics.

These data represent a lower-bound estimate on updated COVID-19 vaccination totals. With the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency, COVID-19 vaccination records are no longer required to be submitted to NYSIIS for adults 19+. Reporting remains mandatory for children 18 and under.

This dataset includes weekly counts of laboratory-confirmed influenza (flu) cases, by county and influenza type, going back to the 2009-10 season. The primary goal of this dataset is to provide users timely information about local influenza activity throughout the current influenza season. Although each influenza season is unique, historical data is also provided for trend comparison. In view of persisting elevated influenza activity throughout NYS, NYSDOH is extending the surveillance 2021-2022 season beyond May until influenza activity has decreased. In view of persisting elevated influenza activity throughout NYS, NYSDOH is extending the surveillance season beyond May until influenza activity has decreased.

The datasets contain hospital discharges counts (numerators, denominators, volume counts), observed, expected and risk-adjusted rates with corresponding 95% confidence intervals for IQIs generated using methodology developed by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
The IQIs are a set of measures that provide a perspective on hospital quality of care using hospital administrative data. These indicators reflect quality of care inside hospitals and include inpatient mortality for certain procedures and medical conditions; utilization of procedures for which there are questions of overuse, underuse, and misuse; and volume of procedures for which there is some evidence that a higher volume of procedures is associated with lower mortality.
All the IQI measures were calculated using Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) inpatient data beginning 2009. US Census data files provided by AHRQ were used to derive denominators for county level (area level) IQI measures.

The mortality, volume and utilization measures IQIs are presented by hospital as rates or counts. Area-level utilization measures are presented by county as rates.
