A wide range of different public sources were used to populate, update and curate our dataset, including official government sources, peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed scientific papers, webpages of public health institutions (WHO, CDC, and ECDC), press releases, newspaper articles, and government communication through social media.
id – Unique identifier for the implemented measure. ID is also used in the Google Form to report erroneous entries.
Country – The country where the NPI measure was implemented.
ISO3 – Three-letter country code as published by the International Organization for Standardization.
State – Subnational geographic area: State. Used for Germany, India, and USA. State where the measure has been implemented. The country name otherwise.
Region – Subnational geographic area (e.g. region, department, municipality, city) where the NPI measure has been locally implemented (i.e. the measure was not implemented nationwide as of the mentioned date). The country or the state name otherwise (i.e. measure implemented nationwide).
Date – Date of implementation of the NPI. Date of announcement was used when the date of implementation of the NPI could not be found and this was specified in the field Comment.
L1_Measure – Themes (L1 of the classification scheme). Eight themes were defined:
(1) Case identification, contact tracing and related measures,
(2) Environmental measures,
(3) Healthcare and public health capacity,
(4) Resource allocation,
(5) Risk communication,
(6) Social distancing,
(7) Travel restriction,
(8) Returning to normal life.
L2_Measure – Categories (L2 of the classification scheme). See the pdf document for the list of the categories.
L3_Measure – Subcategories (L3 of the classification scheme). Provides detailed information on the corresponding category (L2).
L4_Measure – Codes (L4 of the classification scheme). Corresponds to the finest level of description of the measures.
Comment – Provides the description of the measure as found in the text data source, translated into English.
Source – Provides the reference for each entry.
An open library is available (work in progress), that contains all sources used to collect the data: https://www.zotero.org/groups/2488884/cccsl_covid_measure_project.
The CCCSL is an ongoing collaborative project, built in a time limited by the emergency of the situation. Version 1 of the CCCSL has not undergone systematic validation and is currently subjected to an extensive data validation process. Our objective is to validate and develop the dataset within the next three months.
We have released Version 2 of the CCCSL which presents stabilized coding for levels 1 and 2 of the coding scheme.
We are currently developing the labels of the categories/subcategories/codes for the theme "Returning to normal life".
