Oesterreich_Faelle: Austria Daily COVID-19 cases by region 2020-02-26 to 2020-05-31

Description

A dataset containing COVID-19 cases by region (NUTS 3) and time periods (days) for Austria (Source: BMSGPK).

Usage

data(Oesterreich_Faelle)

Format

A data.frame with multiple columns:

NUTS3

(character) Region for which the data was collected.

Datum

(Date) Date of record.

Faelle

(integer) Number of reported cases on this date.

Details

The original data was originally published by BMSGPK at a smaller spatial scale level (political districts, "Politische Bezirke"). The data was linked to a corresponding shapefile from Statistik Austria (2022), joined to the NUTS3 level via a spatial join, and summed over the Austrian NUTS3 regions. The spatial join is based on polygon centroids of the political districts level; in cases where the centroid was outside the polygon, it was placed inside the polygon manually.

Examples

data(Oesterreich_Faelle)
# Get Austrian COVID19 cases at NUTS 3 level
# (first wave, same final date as in Swiss data: 2020-05-31)

  swash (
    data = Oesterreich_Faelle,
    col_cases = "Faelle",
    col_date = "Datum",
    col_region = "NUTS3"
  )
# Swash-Backwash Model for Austrian COVID19 cases
# Spatial aggregate: NUTS 3
