The Oxford Covid-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) is a project that collected information on policy measures to tackle COVID-19 over the years 2020, 2021, and 2022.
The team is continuing research into the impacts and determinants of pandemic policy and working with partners to devise new approaches to data collection that can be deployed quickly in the face of future pandemics or global emergencies.
The OxCGRT dataset was collected by a team of over 1500 volunteers and published in real-time to understand variations in government responses and the effects of different policies on the pandemic and other outcomes of interest.
By May 2023, most countries have lifted their COVID-19-related policies and the WHO declared an end to the public health emergency of international concern. The OxCGRT project, therefore, shifted its primary focus from collecting and reviewing data on government responses to the pandemic to carrying out cutting-edge research using the indicators we created in the past three years and providing decision-makers with evidence-based policy recommendations on the most effective responses in fighting future pandemics and epidemics. Our efforts are now directed at identifying the most pressing research questions on pandemic responses as well as answering these questions through rigorous scientific analysis.
Although a substantial body of scientific research on COVID-19 government responses has already been published, many research questions remain unanswered. Current empirical evidence strongly supports the view that stronger and more timely government responses were crucial in curbing the spread of the virus, yet a lack of consensus prevails on many other issues. The OxCGRT has identified numerous significant avenues for future research. So, in the next years, our researchers will analyse our authoritative dataset with innovative quantitative and qualitative methods to delve deeper into different government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and shed light on the causal links between pandemic responses and relevant social, political, and economic factors. By answering these questions, the OxCGRT project will continue to play a key role in building a safer, healthier, and more prosperous world that is better prepared for the next global virus.
The OxCGRT Seminar Series aims to provide an platform for scholars working on COVID-19 responses, offering an opportunity to present and discuss their ongoing research work as well as to connect with the broader research community.

The OxCGRT has created an authoritative global dataset of COVID-19 policy responses. The dataset reports three years of policy settings for over 180 countries and over 200 subnational jurisdictions, covering 23 policy indicators, such as school closures, travel restrictions, mask mandates, and vaccination policies. The indicators are also aggregated into a suite of policy indices. Since its launch, the tracker has become a key global resource used by policymakers worldwide and cited in thousands of COVID-19 research studies.
For almost all jurisdictions, the OxCGRT data runs from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022. The data for individual Chinese provinces continues until 28 February 2023.
You can access the data here: https://github.com/OxCGRT/covid-policy-dataset
For information and documentation on this dataset, please refer to the final version of our working paper.

The OxCGRT dataset was created by more than 1500 citizen scientists all around the world who volunteered their time to search for, interpret, and record policy actions during an unprecedented crisis. The resulting dataset was only possible because of the hard work of this global team of data collectors.

About the OxCGRT policy dataset
-
Indicators
OxCGRT tracked 23 indicators of government response, including policies for containment and closure (C1-C8), economic policies (E1-E4), health system policies (H1-H8), and vaccination policies (V1-4). For C1-C8, H6, and H8, it differentiates between policies for vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals (eg. where countries implemented vaccine passports or other similar schemes).
-
Policy indices
The OxCGRT included 4 indices (overall government response, containment and health, stringency, and economic support) that aggregate data into a single number from 0-100 to measure how many relevant indicators a government acted upon and to what extent. There are different versions of each index for policies that apply to vaccinated people, non-vaccinated people, and averages of the two. These indices do not assess the effectiveness or appropriateness of a government's policies, only the number and strictness of policies. Being higher on the index does not mean that a country's response was better than others. For more information, see our working paper.
-
Subnational data
Our data includes subnational data for Brazilian states and capital cities, Canadian provinces and territories, Chinese province-level jurisdictions, UK nations, US states, Australian states and capital cities, and Indian states, which can be interpreted using our codebook and subnational data interpretation guidance.
-
Data formats
The OxCGRT publishes is dataset in a range of CSV files. These include “compact” versions that try to present our indicators as simply as possible, as well as “full” versions that contain explanatory notes and component parts of indicators (eg. multiple versions of indicators that apply to vaccinated vs. non-vaccinated people). These also include subnational “raw” data that are used to produce our main subnational data series – a process explained in detail in our working paper.
