As The COVID Tracking Project winds down and ceases daily data collection, we want to continue our ongoing public service mission and make sure that everyone who relies on our work understands how to use the existing federal numbers. Over the next several weeks, we’ll do that through a series of free Zoom trainings and a set of brief written explainers on how to find and work with federal COVID-19 data.
Anyone can sign up to attend these trainings. We especially welcome journalists, academics, researchers, epidemiologists, API users, and anyone who uses our data to attend and ask questions.
