Johns Hopkins University is now providing data in a map layer by county for COVID-19 cases and deaths<\/a>. See the announcement<\/a>. This layer is created and maintained by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE)<\/a> at the Johns Hopkins University. This feature layer<\/a> is supported by Esri Living Atlas team and JHU Data Services. See the FAQ<\/a> or contact Johns Hopkins<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

Johns Hopkins University is interested in working with states who are providing county case data as a feature layer, so that JHU can source from the state directly. Contact Johns Hopkins University<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

Due to limitations in how the data is collected and reported, this new layer contains only confirmed cases and deaths<\/strong>. Although there are fields for active and recovered, they are not being updated and can be ignored for the US. The \u201cCombined Key\u201d field gives the county name, state and country.<\/p>\n

He constantly looks for ways to create clear, focused map information products that incorporate meaningful spatial analysis and evocative visualizations. When he started in GIS at Ohio State, he walked over to the campus library to transcribe census data by hand to paper so that he could hand-enter it into spreadsheets for upload into Arc\/INFO for mapping and analysis. Today, he appreciates how web GIS brings everyone access to good data in useful layers and maps as a starting point for great work.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jimherries\/","https:\/\/x.com\/jherries","https:\/\/jimherries.tumblr.com\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/author\/jimhe"}]}},"text_date":"March 23, 2020","author_name":"Jim Herries","author_page":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/author\/jimhe","custom_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-23-at-1.04.05-PM.png","primary_product":false,"tag_data":[{"term_id":572002,"name":"ArcGIS Living Atlas","slug":"arcgis-living-atlas","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":572002,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":70,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":575081,"name":"coronavirus","slug":"coronavirus","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":575081,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":34,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":585551,"name":"COVID-19","slug":"covid-19","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":585551,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":72,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":268131,"name":"Living Atlas","slug":"living-atlas","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":268131,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":89,"filter":"raw"}],"category_data":[{"term_id":24371,"name":"Public Safety","slug":"public-safety","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":24371,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":280,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":37121,"name":"Real-Time Visualization & Analytics","slug":"real-time","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":37121,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":166,"filter":"raw"}],"product_data":[],"primary_product_link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/779721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/blog"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=779721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/779721\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=779721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=779721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=779721"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=779721"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=779721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
