Coronavirus (COVID-19) Review: data and analysis, March to October 2020

This review provides an overview of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and how our data and analysis has been able to provide insight and understanding of the impacts of the pandemic on health, society and the economy. By bringing all the information together in one place, we provide a narrative of how society and the economy has been impacted and responded so far for the period March to October 2020.

We have published a wide variety of data and analysis across various themes and topics over the last seven months in response to the pandemic on our dedicated COVID-19 web page. We have introduced new surveys, developed new insight, used new data sources and published new cross-cutting analysis in our response to demands for high quality, trustworthy and up-to-date statistics throughout the pandemic, while maintaining and developing existing statistics to assess the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. We have recently published our analytical work plans for the autumn for how we will continue to monitor the impact and provide further insight into the coronavirus pandemic.

This web page brings together information on the pandemic by theme. You can download individual themes or download everything in one go - each theme section provides an overall narrative on the subject matter based on what we have published so far and provides links to more detailed data and analysis along with the relevant contact points.
