PHS is updating the Coronavirus Global Cases dataset weekly, Monday, Wednesday and Friday from [Cloud Marketplace](<https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/johnshopkins/covid19_jhu_global_cases>).



This data comes from the data repository for the 2019 Novel Coronavirus [Visual Dashboard](<https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6>) operated by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CSSE). This database was created in response to the Coronavirus public health emergency to track reported cases in real-time. The data include the location and number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, deaths, and recoveries for all affected countries, aggregated at the appropriate province or state. It was developed to enable researchers, public health authorities and the general public to track the outbreak as it unfolds. Additional information is available in the [blog post](<https://systems.jhu.edu/research/public-health/ncov/>).
