Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT)
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government systematically collects information on policy stringency taken by governments to tackle the pandemic since February 2020. OxCGRT collects information on government policy responses across eight dimensions, namely: (i) school closures; (ii) workplace closures; (iii) public event cancellations; (iv) gathering restrictions; (v) public transportation closures; (vi) stay-at-home orders; (vii) restrictions on internal movement; and (viii) international travel bans. These dimensions are then used to calculate response indexes to COVID-19. Each index is rescaled to get a score between 0 and 100 (100 representing the highest degree of strictness/restriction).

Why is this resource interesting?"This tracker implemented by the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government systematically collects information on the measures taken by governments to tackle the pandemic since February 2020 . OxCGRT is based on publicly avail-able information on 13 indicators of government response (policies such as school closures, ban son public gatherings or travel, etc., and financial indicators such as fiscal or monetary measures). Each indicator is re-scaled to get a score between 0 and 100 (100 representing the highest degree of strictness/restriction)." (IZA DP 13205)

Johns Hopkins University
Public Health and MedicineThe data repository for the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Visual Dashboard operated by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CSSE).
Link to resource
Why is this resource interesting?The Johns Hopkins COVID-19 data "links data from the Robert Koch Institute, the World Health Organization, and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Furthermore, official statistics from the Robert Koch Institute are downward biased on weekends, as some local administrations only report their case numbers on workdays. The data then enter the official statistics on Monday and Tuesday, yielding an upward bias of the statistics on new infections. We find that the data from the Johns Hopkins University (2020) are more robust to these biases." (Hartl, et al. 2020),

There are six location categories: (i) retail and recreation, (ii) grocery and pharmacy, (iii) parks (public gardens, dog parks, beaches, etc.), (iv) transit stations (public transport hubs such as subway, bus, train stations), (v) workplaces and (vi) residential areas.
Human mobility is tracked by Google daily and in a consistent manner across 131 countries. For a subset of countries, the information is provided at sub-national level." (IZA DP 13205)

Students, researchers, and volunteers are collecting data from public sources on the implemented NPIs, including the time schedules for the implementation.

CLS | COVID-19 Survey
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19During the coronavirus pandemic, we have been running a series of surveys to find out about the experiences of the participants in five national longitudinal cohort studies. The aim is to understand the economic, social and health impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, the extent to which the pandemic is widening or narrowing inequalities, and the lifelong factors which shape vulnerability and resilience to its effects. We have now completed three waves of the survey. Participants in all four of the national longitudinal cohort studies that we manage at CLS, as well as participants in the MRC National Survey of Health and Development, have taken part. In March 2021, study participants who had taken part in any of these three COVID-19 surveys were asked to provide a blood sample to be analysed for COVID-19 antibodies.

Proportional quota sampling was used to ensure that respondents were demographically representative of the general public, with quotas based on age, gender and state/territory. Respondents were required to be 18 years or older and to speak English.

Respondents were asked to rate the perceived level of effectiveness in reducing the risk from COVID-19. These items included those promoted by the government and those that were not (mask use when not symptomatic, taking antibiotics). The strategies were grouped into: hygiene related behaviors (hand washing/sanitizing, cleaning surfaces) and avoidance-related behaviors (avoiding crowds, public transport, and complying with quarantine restrictions). Included was also a question that assessed the respondent’s ability to adopt to different social distancing strategies (working from home, keeping children home from school, avoiding travelling, avoiding large crowds, quarantine if exposed, and isolation if symptomatic. The last section of the survey included items focused on self-isolation. Respondents were asked to comment on their willingness to comply, their level of concern regarding the impact on being placed into self-isolation (at home), their ability to comply, their access to assistance from family/friends and issues they have with the strategy.
