Before revision:  Even the timing of initial stages of the infection and its dynamics seem to have been very different even among contiguous provinces, as hot-spots of Covid-19 contagion have been often located in specific areas. The rules with which the anti-gen tests were made initially depended on the choices of the provincial local health authorities in Italy. Similarly, hospital admissions in the early stages of the emergency depended on the management and absorption capacity of the local health units. Only data on total cases are currently available at a provincial level. We integrated them deriving the provincial Covid-19 deaths from press reports downloaded from regional authorities .
After revision:  Even the timing of initial stages of the infection and its dynamics seem to have been very different even among contiguous provinces, as hot-spots of Covid-19 infection in Italy considering daily NUTS-3 data on positive cases provided by the Italian Ministry of Health and on deaths derived from Italian regional authorities' official press conferences. Descriptive time series plots are provided together with a map describing the spatial distribution of province cumulative cases and rates. A section on a proposed time-dependent adjusted SIRD model for NUTS-3 regions is also provided in the app .
