Disclaimer:
This harmonized dataset is an ongoing collation and harmonization of COVID-19 high-frequency phone survey (HFPS) data. Harmonization involves redefining indicators and categories so that they are comparable across countries. As a result, even if the names and definitions of indicators appear similar, numbers in this global database might differ slightly from those of each country's publications or dashboard. If you see large discrepancies or other issues, please reach out.
