We are publishing many resources to help users of COVID Tracking Project data switch to federal data sources. Where can I go after March 7 to get the same data you have been publishing? We are committed to further long-term archiving beyond that date and will continue to provide more information in the coming weeks. Our API and data downloads will be available in their current locations for historical data until at least May 1, 2021. We are archiving all our data and our website for long-term access. What will happen to your API/data after March 7? Now, it appears that the federal government is taking steps to provide COVID-19 data that is largely comparable to the data we compile from state and territory sources. The short answer is that-as we have said from the project’s inception-we believe that COVID-19 data provisioning is the responsibility of federal public health agencies. Why aren’t you continuing to collect data indefinitely? We will continue with documentation, analysis, and archiving work through May, 2021, and then close the project. We will conclude daily data compilation on March 7, 2021. Questions about the end of The COVID Tracking Project’s data collection When will The COVID Tracking Project stop collecting data?
