Description

This individual-level dataset describes (a) the early spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and (b) the first human-to-human transmission networks, in Romania. Specifically, in the first set of data (a), we profile the first 147 cases referring to: whether an individual is an index case, place of residence, sex, age, probable citizenship, probable country and place of infection, arrival date to a Romanian county, COVID-19 confirmation date as well as the sources of information. Also, the second set of data (b) contains the first observed human-to-human COVID-19 transmission networks (attributes of the nodes and the direction of COVID-19 transmission, i.e. who infects whom). Networks embed 159 nodes and 203 transmission ties. Indirect identifiers are masked / de-identified. 

Notes

The dataset is made up of three sets of information: (i.) attributes of the first 147 COVID-19 confirmed cases in Romania; (ii.) attributes of the nodes embedded in the COVID-19 human-to-human transmission networks; (iii.) transmission ties (arrows) illustrating who infects who. The first two sets of information are in a rectangular format (case by variable), while the third set of information is in a square matrix format (an adjacency binary matrix of 159 by 159 nodes). A description of the variables necessary for a potential re-use of the whole dataset is available as a ReadMe file (see "HanceanMG PercM LernerJ Early spread of COVID19 in Romania_Readme.txt") or in the "COVID-19_ROMANIA_variabile_description.xlsx" file. We did not apply any missing data imputation technique in the dataset.
