About the data

Data for France comes from the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Population data from the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies.

The Times has identified reporting anomalies or methodology changes in the data.

More about reporting anomalies or changes
  • Feb. 22, 2022: France revised their total number of deaths upwards.
  • May 20, 2021: France removed many duplicate cases.
  • April 4, 2021: France added a backlog of cases.
  • March 24, 2021: Public Health France reported several days' worth of data at once, leading to a spike in cases.
  • April 12, 2020: France reported a large number of probable cases in nursing homes.
  • France does not regularly report new data on weekends.

Confirmed cases and deaths, which are widely considered to be an undercount of the true toll, are counts of individuals whose coronavirus infections were confirmed by a molecular laboratory test. Probable cases and deaths count individuals who meet criteria for other types of testing, symptoms and exposure, as developed by national and local governments.

Governments often revise data or report a single-day large increase in cases or deaths from unspecified days without historical revisions, which can cause an irregular pattern in the daily reported figures. The Times is excluding these anomalies from seven-day averages when possible. For agencies that do not report data every day, variation in the schedule on which cases or deaths are reported, such as around holidays, can also cause an irregular pattern in averages. The Times uses an adjustment method to vary the number of days included in an average to remove these irregularities.
