deathinteger nullable

Total fatalities with confirmed OR probable COVID-19 case diagnosis (per the expanded CSTE case definition of April 5th, 2020 approved by the CDC).

hospitalizedinteger nullable

Deprecated. Old label for hospitalizedCumulative.

totalinteger nullable

Deprecated. Computed by adding positive, negative, and pending values.

totalTestResultsinteger nullable

Where possible, we report total tests in units of people tested, rather than units of specimens tested. Currently computed by adding positive and negative values because some states do not report totals and to work around different reporting cadences for cases and tests.

posNeginteger nullable

deathIncreaseinteger nullable

Increase in death computed by subtracting the value of death for the previous day from the value of death for the current day.
