Queensland COVID-19 Cases by Location and Infection Source

Queensland Health provides a line list of COVID-19 cases with notification dates, residential location details, and infection sources. Location data is masked for non-residents, and SA2 geography was not generated for tests prior to June 2021. The dataset includes results from the Public RAT Portal integrated into the Notifiable Conditions System.

Use Cases

• Mapping case density based on postcode and Local Government Area location fields.
• Analyzing infection source trends over time using the source of infection variable.
• Studying the impact of system updates on data completeness, referencing the June 2021 Notifiable Conditions System change.
• Tracking reinfection periods using the integrated duplicate entries from the RAT Portal.

Strengths

• Includes location variables at three geographic levels: Postcode, Local Government Area, and SA2.
• Incorporates data from the Queensland Public RAT Portal, integrated to remove duplicates.
• Last updated on 2026-03-19, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Location data is null for cases not usually residing in Queensland, limiting analysis of imported cases.
• SA2 geography is missing for pathology tests prior to June 2021, creating a temporal data gap.
• Row count and column definitions are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
