This dataset includes information on school reported COVID-19 testing and case positive data beginning on September 13, 2021. Data is collected from charter schools on each operational day using the daily school survey form, which school administrators access by logging in to the NYSDOH school survey website. Each school may submit data for the current operational day between the hours of 7am and 5pm. At 5pm, a process runs which aggregates data at the school and district levels. The following morning the data are updated for the previous day and displayed on the School COVID Report Card website.

The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users timely information about disease spread and reporting of positive cases within schools. The data will be updated daily, reflecting data submitted by school administrators the previous day.

Note: Data elements were retired from HERDS on 10/6/23 and this dataset was archived.

This dataset includes weekly information about race/ethnicity categories and age groups of patients admitted for inpatient care to the hospital that are lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive.
