Take me there!This dataset shows San Francisco COVID-19 cases by population characteristics and by specimen collection date. Cases are included on the date the positive test was collected.
Data on the population characteristics of COVID-19 cases and deaths are from:
* Case interviews
* Laboratories
* Medical providers
* We include all race/ethnicity categories that are collected for COVID-19 cases.
* The population estimates for the "Other" or “Multi-racial” groups should be considered with caution. The Census definition is likely not exactly aligned with how the City collects this data. For that reason, we do not recommend calculating population rates for these groups.
* The City began asking adults 18 years old or older for their sexual orientation identification during case interviews as of April 28, 2020. Sexual orientation data prior to this date is unavailable.
* The City doesn’t collect or report information about sexual orientation for persons under 12 years of age.
* Case investigation interviews transitioned to the California Department of Public Health, Virtual Assistant information gathering beginning December 2021. The Virtual Assistant is only sent to adults who are 18+ years old. Learn more about our data collection guidelines pertaining to sexual orientation.
* The City collects information on gender identity using these guidelines.
* Underlying conditions are reported when a person has one or more underlying health conditions at the time of diagnosis or death.
* Information on transmission of COVID-19 is based on case interviews with individuals who have a confirmed positive test. Individuals are asked if they have been in close contact with a known COVID-19 case. If they answer yes, transmission category is recorded as contact with a known case. If they report no contact with a known case, transmission category is recorded as community transmission. If the case is not interviewed or was not asked the question, they are counted as unknown.
Persons are identified as homeless based on several data sources:
* self-reported living situation
* the location at the time of testing
* Department of Public Health homelessness and health databases
* Residents in Single-Room Occupancy hotels are not included in these figures.
These methods serve as an estimate of persons experiencing homelessness. They may not meet other homelessness definitions.
* SRO buildings are defined by the San Francisco Housing Code as having six or more "residential guest rooms" which may be attached to shared bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces.
* The details of a person's living arrangements are verified during case interviews.

This dataset includes many different types of characteristics. Filter the “Characteristic Type” column to explore a topic area. Then, the “Characteristic Group” column shows each group or category within that topic area and the number of cases on each date.
Certain population characteristics that were once included in this dataset are no longer being reported publicly. An archived copy of these data can be found at this dataset here: ARCHIVED: COVID-19 Cases by Population Characteristics Over Time.
