cord-290251-ihq8gdwj	Hasell, Joe	A cross-country database of COVID-19 testing	2020-10-08		.txt	text/plain	3805	196	52	The database consists of two parts, provided for each included country: (1) a time series for the cumulative and daily number of tests performed, or people tested, plus derived variables (discussed below); (2) metadata including a detailed description of the source and any available information on data quality or comparability issues needed for the interpretation of the time series. Firstly, for a number of countries, figures reported in official sources -including press releases, government websites, dedicated dashboards, and social media accounts of national authorities -are recorded manually as they are released. The time series for cumulative and daily testing for each country-series is then provided in the covid-testing-all-observations.csv file. In covid-testing-all-observations.csv, for those sources only providing daily testing figures, this field is derived as the running total of the raw daily data, and is also provided per thousand people of the country's 2020 population.	./cache/cord-290251-ihq8gdwj.txt	./txt/cord-290251-ihq8gdwj.txt
