COVID-19 Cases in Mexico by State and Municipality, 2020-2021

A cleaned dataset from Mexico's General Directorate of Epidemiology groups daily COVID-19 cases by state and municipality. The data includes counts for confirmed, deceased, recovered, and active cases, with the first documented case on 2020-01 -13. The creator applied a 15-day threshold to define recovered cases, differing from the official government methodology.

Strengths

• Data is cleaned and formatted from the original source, removing features deemed not useful for predictive analysis.
