Data Collection and Reporting

This study investigated the spatiotemporal trends and geographic disparities in COVID-19 mortality from March 1, 2020, to May 31, 2021, by identifying emerging hot and cold spots of death rates over three phases of the pandemic (first wave, second wave, post-vaccination). Results showed hot spots shifting over three phases of the pandemic from densely populated cities to states with looser social distancing regulations and low vaccination rates.
