The COVID Tracking Project is a volunteer organization launched from The Atlantic, dedicated to collecting and publishing the data on COVID-19 testing and patient outcomes. Essential to understanding the COVID-19 outbreak in the US, this dataset is currently in use by national and local news organizations across the United States and by research projects and agencies worldwide. The data API (which allows sites and apps to import the dataset automatically) receives about two million requests per day. Learn about the genesis of the project, as well as how The Atlantic's editorial and business teams were able to collaborate in unprecedented ways.
