The COVID-19 Canada Open Data Working Group is collecting publicly available information on confirmed and presumptive positive cases during the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in Canada. Data are entered in a spreadsheet with each line representing a unique case, including age, sex, health region location, and history of travel where available. Sources are included as a reference for each entry. All data are exclusively collected from publicly available sources including government reports and news media. We aim to continue making updates daily.

We want to thank all individuals and organizations across Canada who have been willing and able to report data in as open and timely a manner as possible.

Please see below for a recommended citation of this dataset. A number of individuals have contributed to the specific data added here and their names and details are listed below, as well as in the contributors tab of the spreadsheet.
