Data caveats
Every effort is made to ensure the data is accurate at time of publication. It is point-in-time data. Data is subject to change as additional information is obtained.
There may be a lag in public reporting of particular data due to data quality assurance activities, ongoing maintenance and updating of notification details.
Daily case data:
Data presented in this report are updated daily where possible but should be considered with caution because they may change.
Daily case counts may vary over time due to ongoing investigations and case review.
Not all cases or active cases have required hospitalisation. To ensure privacy and confidentiality is maintained, hospitalisation data has been reported at a state level only.
Where the case normally resides in another State/Territory in Australia but is quarantined in Queensland at the time of notification, the case is not included in Queensland’s case numbers.
Where the case normally resides overseas but is quarantined in Queensland at the time of notification, the case is included in Queensland’s case numbers.
Active cases:
For the purposes of public reporting, the number of active cases is defined as: total cases less recovered and deceased cases.
Deaths:
Information about the death of a case with COVID-19 is made available by a clinician when a death certificate is completed. There may be a delay in obtaining and reporting this information. Therefore, the completeness, or any other attributes of COVID-related death data, should be interpreted with caution.
Recovered cases:
Recovered cases are cases reported as recovered by the responsible Public Health Unit plus cases that have a notification date of 30 days or more.
Case data by Hospital and Health Service (HHS) and Local Government Area (LGA):
Location data (by HHS or by LGA) should be interpreted with caution.
In most cases the HHSs and LGAs are derived using the residential address when that case was notified but may alternatively have been derived from the location of the Public Health Unit managing the case, or the location where the test was ordered.
It does not necessarily reflect the current location of a case or where the infection was acquired.
To ensure privacy and confidentiality is maintained, data has been reported at an HHS level and at an LGA level and not at lower levels of geography.
These data may also include temporary residential addresses for overseas visitors quarantined in Queensland at the time of notification but do not include cases who normally reside in other States/Territories in Australia.
The HHS data do not reflect hospital admissions in each HHS. Not all cases with COVID-19 have required hospitalisation.
The LGA data are cumulative (total) notified case numbers.
Maps:
Data represented in the maps above are cumulative (total) notified case numbers. The maps should not be interpreted to reflect only current, notified active cases.
Likely source of infection:
Likely source of infection data are subject to change as public health investigations and case interviews are ongoing.
Testing:
Individuals may have multiple tests performed over time, by different laboratory service providers in public and private settings. The number of tests performed should therefore be interpreted with caution.
