About this data
Sources: State and local health agencies (cases, deaths); U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (test positivity, hospitalizations, I.C.U. patients). Test positivity, hospitalizations, I.C.U.s and deaths show seven-day averages. Hospitalization data may not yet be available for yesterday. Test positivity is based only on P.C.R. test results reported to the federal government and is for the most recent seven days in which at least 40 states have reported testing data. 14-day change is hidden if not enough data is available to make a comparison. Figures shown are the most recent data available.

About this data

Update for March 23
- After more than three years of daily reporting of coronavirus data in the United States, The New York Times is ending its Covid-19 data-gathering operation. The Times will continue to publish virus data from the federal government weekly on a new set of tracking pages, but this page will no longer be updated.
- This change was spurred by the declining availability of virus data from state and local health officials. Since few states report more than once a week (and some no longer report data to the public at all), the weekly data reports from the C.D.C. have become the most reliable source of information on the virus’s spread.
- The new tracker pages will be updated once weekly and will highlight hospitalizations, deaths and the C.D.C.’s county-level analysis of virus conditions, among other data.
How to read Covid data now
Higher test positivity rates are a sign that many infections are not reported — even if they are tested for at home. This results in a more severe undercount of cases. The number of hospitalized patients with Covid is a more reliable measure because testing is more consistent in hospitals. Read more about the data.

About this data
Sources: State and local health agencies (cases, deaths); U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (test positivity, hospitalizations); Centers for Disease Control and state governments (vaccinations); Census Bureau (population and demographic data). Test positivity data is based on viral P.C.R. test results only and is a seven day average. The daily average is calculated with data that was reported in the last seven days. Vaccination data is not available for some states. All-time charts show data from Jan. 21, 2020 to present.How cases, hospitalizations and deaths are trending
Each chart shows how these three metrics compare to the corresponding peak level reached nationwide before Omicron became the dominant variant. For example, a state’s case line exceeds 100 percent on the chart when its number of cases per capita exceeds the highest number of U.S. cases per capita reached in January 2021.

About this data
Sources: State and local health agencies (cases, deaths); U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (hospitalizations).Rates for vaccinated and unvaccinated
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that people who are unvaccinated are at a much greater risk than those who are fully vaccinated to die from Covid-19. These charts compare age-adjusted average daily case and death rates for vaccinated and unvaccinated people in the states and cities that provide this data.

About this data
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This data was first made available on Oct. 19 2021, and is expected to update monthly. The C.D.C. releases the data as a weekly figure per 100,000 and is presented here as a daily average per 100,000 for consistency with other population-adjusted figures on this page. See the notes on the C.D.C.’s page for more information.U.S. trends
About this data
Sources: State and local health agencies (cases, deaths); U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (test positivity, hospitalizations, I.C.U. patients). The seven-day average is the average of the most recent seven days of data. Figures for Covid patients in hospitals and I.C.U.s are the most recent number of patients with Covid-19 who are hospitalized or in an intensive care unit on that day. Dips and spikes could be due to inconsistent reporting by hospitals. Hospitalization numbers early in the pandemic are undercounts due to incomplete reporting by hospitals to the federal government. Test positivity is based on P.C.R. viral test specimens tested by laboratories and state health departments and reported to the federal government by the 50 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. Hospitalizations and test positivity are reported based on dates assigned by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and are subject to historical revisions. Cases and deaths data are assigned to dates based on when figures are publicly reported. Case and death seven-day averages are adjusted to reduce the impact of anomalous reporting. Certain days with anomalous total case or death reports are excluded from the average or have a portion of their cases and deaths which correspond to data backlogs removed from the average calculation. For the U.S. national case and death count averages, the average is the sum of the average number of cases and deaths in all states and territories each day. This average may not match the average when calculated from the U.S. case and death total in order to account for irregularly timed case and death reports at the state level.

About this data
Sources: State and local health agencies (cases, deaths); U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (test positivity, hospitalizations); Centers for Disease Control and state governments (vaccinations). The daily average for cases and hospitalizations is calculated with data that was reported in the last seven days. The daily average for deaths is calculated with data reported in the last 30 days. Counties with fewer than 10,000 residents are not shown. Test positivity data is based on viral P.C.R. test results only and is a seven day average. Hospitalized figures are updated once a week for each county and show the average number of Covid-19 patients hospitalized per 100,000 residents within any hospital service areas that intersect with the county, or in some cases, within any hospital referral regions that intersect with the county. Vaccination data is not available for some counties. All-time charts show data from Jan. 21, 2020 to present.Credits

- To see a detailed list of all reporting anomalies, visit the individual state pages listed at the bottom of this page.
Confirmed cases and deaths, which are widely considered to be an undercount of the true toll, are counts of individuals whose coronavirus infections were confirmed by a molecular laboratory test. Probable cases and deaths count individuals who meet criteria for other types of testing, symptoms and exposure, as developed by national and local governments.
Governments often revise data or report a single-day large increase in cases or deaths from unspecified days without historical revisions, which can cause an irregular pattern in the daily reported figures. The Times is excluding these anomalies from seven-day averages when possible. For agencies that do not report data every day, variation in the schedule on which cases or deaths are reported, such as around holidays, can also cause an irregular pattern in averages. The Times uses an adjustment method to vary the number of days included in an average to remove these irregularities.
