In partnership with University of Maryland and Carnegie Mellon University, Facebook users are invited to take surveys conducted by these two partner universities to self-report COVID-19-related symptoms.
The questionnaire asks about current symptoms, access to testing, testing outcome, and contacts outside of their home. Other items included self-reported household financial outlookand indicators for nervousness, depression, and anxiety, adapted from the K10 scale. A 5 day “look back” period was used for mental health measures, in order to examine these constructs in a rapidly changing environment.
Non-public, non-aggregated US and non-US (daily) survey data are available after Facebook's and partner universities' approval.

COVID-19 Transmission Survey

The dataset was developed by a survey that took place over the first week of June 2020. Samples of 1,000 adults in the US and UK were obtained from a professional survey company using quota sampling to obtain national samples broadly representative for those of working age with some oversampling to reflect contrasts of interest. All survey recruitment and completion was done by electronic means (so via phones or personal computers but not face-to-face meetings). Towards the end of the sampling period some of the quotas were relaxed. Ex post, a set of weights that can be used to construct nationally representative results. Respondents were paid a small amount for completing the survey which took about 5 minutes on average to complete. It is important to reiterate that survey responses are self reports and that said, overall reported infection rates are comparable to those reported elsewhere for the UK and US bearing in mind the predominance of early transmission experience.
The dataset contains several variables related to transmission experience while the analysis focuses on the possession of a medical diagnosis or positive test self-reported by the respondent.

COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey

The University of Maryland Social Data Science Center Global COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey, in partnership with Facebook is a partnership between Facebook and academic institutions. The survey is available in 56 languages. A representative sample of Facebook users is invited on a daily basis to report on topics including, for example, symptoms, social distancing behavior, vaccine acceptance, mental health issues, and financial constraints. Facebook provides weights to reduce nonresponse and coverage bias. Country and region-level statistics are published daily via public API and dashboards, and microdata is available for researchers via data use agreements. Over half a million responses are collected daily. Data for the United States is not included in the Global COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey but is available at covidcast.cmu.edu As of June 25, 2022, the COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey will no longer collect new survey data. Historical data will continue to be available.

COVID-19 US State Policy Database (CUSP)

The COVID-19 US State Policy Database tracks the dates when each US state implemented new social safety net, economic, and physical distancing policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with data on existing health and social policies and information on state characteristics. This database is developed and maintained by researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health, and is updated at least biweekly.
The database has information on unemployment program, healthcare delivery, racial disparities, incarcerated individuals, vote by mail, physical distance closures, exact date of the declaration of the state of emergency, school and non-essential business closures, shelter-in-place orders, housing protections, masks wearing mandates, changes to Medicaid and SNAP, reopening, quarantines for out of state visitors, alcohol and firearms, substance use disorder policies, food security, and more.
Policies included are state-wide directives or mandates, not guidance or recommendations. In order for a policy to be included, it must apply to the entire state.

COVID-19, Face Mask Usage and Cooperation

This study investigates the relationship between face mask usage and cooperative behaviour in the US population during the Covid-19 pandemic. Social preferences are assumed to be one of the main determining factors of face mask usage. However, the decision to wear a face mask in public could also signal the wearer’s latent political identity, subsequently altering other’s perception of the wearer’s willingness to cooperate. The bi-directional relationship between these two variables is investigated in a randomised online survey experiment.

DJI Childcare Study COVID-19 Add-on

The survey has been supplemented by a short additional module on the effects of the corona virus on the care of children up to primary school age since the beginning of the corona pandemic. Parents already interviewed at this time were also asked about the current changes in the care of their children due to corona as part of a follow-up study. In addition to the deviation from the "usual" care situation, the support received in organising childcare as well as changes in the parents' working behaviour will be surveyed. Over the field period from the end of March to the end of July 2020, the overall course of the collected information can provide information on the extent of the changes over time and the flexibility that families have to provide as well as the stabilisation of the care situation in the following months.
The DJI Childcare Study (KiBS) is an annual, representative survey of approx. 33,000 parents with children under the age of 12 years. Based on random samples from the residents' registration office, about 2,000 interviews are conducted in each federal state of Germany. The youngest age cohort, children under one year of age, is drawn each year anew, while the older children continue the panel survey. The parent principally caring for the child is interviewed; in more than 90 per cent of the interviews, this is the child's mother. The duration of a telephone interview (CATI) is about 20 minutes per person.

EUROSTAT Excess Mortality by Month

The monthly excess mortality indicator is based on the exceptional data collection on weekly deaths that Eurostat set up, in April 2020, to support the policy and research efforts related to Covid-19. With that data collection, Eurostat's target was to provide quickly statistics assessing the changing situation of the total number of deaths on a weekly basis, from early 2020 onwards. National Statistical Institutes transmit available data on total weekly deaths, classified by sex, 5-year age groups and NUTS3 regions (NUTS2016) over the last 20 years, on a voluntary basis. The resulting online tables, and complementary metadata, are available in the folder Weekly deaths - special data collection (demomwk). In December 2020, Eurostat released a European Recovery Statistical Dashboard containing also indicators tracking economic and social developments, including health. In this context, “excess mortality” offers elements for monitoring and further analysing direct and indirect effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The monthly excess mortality indicator draws attention to the magnitude of the crisis by providing a comprehensive comparison of additional deaths amongst the European countries and allowing for further analysis of its causes. The number of deaths from all causes is compared with the expected number of deaths during a certain period in the past. The reasons for an excess mortality may vary according to different phenomena. The indicator is simply comparing the total number of deaths from all causes with the expected number of deaths during a certain period in the past (baseline).

Global Health 50/50 - Sex, Gender and COVID-19: Overview and Resources

As a key resource Global Health 50/50 COVID-19 Data Tracker collects and collates data reported by national governments. Cases and deaths are only reported when sex-disaggregated data is published by Governments. This means that sex-disaggregated data sometimes lag behind the figures for current infections and deaths and may only represent a portion of the overall confirmed cases or deaths within a country.
One can find sex-disaggregated data on confirmed cases, deaths, hospitalisations, ICU admissions, cases and deaths by age and sex and infections among healthcare workers. You can also find further information on why men appear to be dying at a higher rate than women, and some FAQs on COVID-19 data.

Google Health Trends API

Google Health Trends API allows to measure the daily share of Google searches related to COVID-19 in each country, as well as globally. In contrast to the publicly available Google Trends database, Google Health Trends API comes with two advantages. First, the actual numbers are not scaled between 0 and 100 but instead, the values represent the share of Google searches that meet the query conditions as a share of all Google searches at a given date in a specific country. Thus, the variables are both more transparent in terms of construction and are continuous. Second, the scaling from 0 to 100 in publicly available Google Trends always depends on the countries and reference terms that are included. Google Health Trends API enables to achieve cross-country comparability without relying on reference countries. Furthermore, access to Google Health Trends API enables to query up to 30 search terms at a time. But Google Health Trends API does not have built-in translation capabilities.
