This data source is a mirror of the “COVID-19 Reported Patient Impact and Hospital Capacity by State Timeseries” and “COVID-19 Reported Patient Impact and Hospital Capacity by State” datasets provided by the US Department of Health & Human Services via healthdata.gov. The latter provides more frequent updates, so it is combined with the former to create a single dataset which is as recent as possible.
HHS performs up to four days of forward-fill for missing values in the facility-level data which are aggregated to make this state-level dataset. This sometimes results in repeated values in the state-level data. A sequence of two repeated values is extremely common, and longer sequences are rare. Repeated values added in this way are sometimes updated if the underlying missing data can be completed at a later date.
Starting October 1, 2022, some facilities are only required to report annually.
For more information, see the official description and data dictionary at healthdata.gov for “COVID-19 Reported Patient Impact and Hospital Capacity by State Timeseries,” as well as the official description for “COVID-19 Reported Patient Impact and Hospital Capacity by State.” The data elements, cadence, and how the data are being used in the federal response are documented in a FAQ published by Health & Human Services.
General topics not specific to any particular data source are discussed in the API overview. Such topics include: contributing and citing.
This data source provides various measures of COVID-19 burden on patients and healthcare in the US.

If we ever need to repair the data record due to a bug in our code (not at the source), we will update the list below.
October 21, 2021All issues between 20210430 and 20211021 were re-uploaded to include new columns added by HHS. If you pulled these issues before October 21, the data you received was correct, but was missing the added columns.
January 22, 2021The following issues were repaired:
These issues had been imported using the wrong column order due to an imprecise database migration. If you pulled these issues before January 22, you will want to discard that data.
