The coronavirus package provides a tidy format for the COVID-19 dataset collected by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University. The dataset includes daily new and death cases between January 2020 and March 2023 and recovery cases until August 2022.
More details available
here, and a csv
format
of the package dataset available
here
Data source: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Public Health Image Library- As of March 10th, 2023, JHU CCSE stopped collecting and tracking new cases
- As of August 4th, 2022 JHU CCSE stopped track recovery cases, please see this issue for more details
- Negative values and/or anomalies may occurred in the data for the
following reasons:
- The calculation of the daily cases from the raw data which is in cumulative format is done by taking the daily difference. In some cases, some retro updates not tie to the day that they actually occurred such as removing false positive cases
- Anomalies or error in the raw data
- Please see this issue for more details
Additional documentation available on the following vignettes:
- Introduction to the Coronavirus Dataset
- Covid19R Project Data Format
- Covid19 Vaccine Data
- Geospatial Visualization
Install the CRAN version:

The package provides the following two datasets:
-
coronavirus - tidy (long) format of the JHU CCSE datasets. That includes the following columns:
date
- The date of the observation, usingDate
classprovince
- Name of province/state, for countries where data is provided split across multiple provinces/statescountry
- Name of country/regionlat
- The latitude codelong
- The longitude codetype
- An indicator for the type of cases (confirmed, death, recovered)cases
- Number of cases on given dateuid
- Country codeprovince_state
- Province or state if applicableiso2
- Officially assigned country code identifiers with two-letteriso3
- Officially assigned country code identifiers with three-lettercode3
- UN country codefips
- Federal Information Processing Standards code that uniquely identifies counties within the USAcombined_key
- Country and province (if applicable)population
- Country or province populationcontinent_name
- Continent namecontinent_code

-
covid19_vaccine - a tidy (long) format of the the Johns Hopkins Centers for Civic Impact global vaccination dataset by country. This dataset includes the following columns:
country_region
- Country or region namedate
- Data collection date in YYYY-MM-DD formatdoses_admin
- Cumulative number of doses administered. When a vaccine requires multiple doses, each one is counted independentlypeople_partially_vaccinated
- Cumulative number of people who received at least one vaccine dose. When the person receives a prescribed second dose, it is not counted twicepeople_fully_vaccinated
