Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) have been the primary tool used by governments and organizations to mitigate the spread of the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19. Natural experiments are currently being conducted on the impact of these interventions, but most of these occur at the subnational level - data not available in early global datasets. We describe the rapid development of the first comprehensive, labelled dataset of NPIs implemented at federal, provincial/territorial and municipal levels in Canada to guide COVID-19 research. For each intervention, we provide: a) information on timing to aid in longitudinal evaluation, b) location to allow for robust spatial analyses, and c) classification based on intervention type and target population, including classification aligned with a previously developed measure of government response stringency.

A paper describing the dataset can be read [here](http://cmajopen.ca/content/8/3/E545.full).

This dataset covers the beginning period of the pandemic, starting in January 2020; further data updates to continue for the duration of the pandemic. This novel dataset enables robust, inter-jurisdictional comparisons of pandemic response, can serve as a model for other jurisdictions and can be linked with other information about case counts, transmission dynamics, health care utilization, mobility data and economic indicators to derive important insights regarding NPI impact.

Here we show the count of recorded interventions by time in the dataset:

We also provide a list of announcements directly from provincial government sources in the [`sources/`](https://github.com/jajsmith/COVID19NonPharmaceuticalInterventions/tree/master/sources) folder. These announcements include articles that are not related to COVID-19. They are updated twice a day and include a model-estimated probability of being about COVID-19 intervention-related topics.
