COVID-19 Daily Average Case-Fatality Rate

Measurement Period: Mar 3, 2023
This indicator shows the daily average confirmed deaths due to COVID-19 calculated from the daily average confirmed cases recorded in the preceding 7 days (for example, Jan 31 includes the daily average deaths between January 25 - January 31, 2020).
 
Numerator = daily average confirmed deaths in preceding 7 days
Denominator = daily average confirmed cases in preceding 7 days 
 

Why is this important?

Case-fatality rate is the proportion of persons with a particular condition (cases) who die from that condition. It is a measure of the severity of the condition. The case-fatality rate is a proportion, not a true rate. As a result, some epidemiologists prefer the term case-fatality ratio. Case-fatality rate still is seen as the best tool to express the fatality of this disease; however, it may be an underestimate when widespread testing is not available. By showing the daily average case-fatality rate per week, this approach helps prevent major events (such as a change in reporting methods) from skewing the data and better allows visualizations overtime.
