Summary The cumulative number of probable COVID-19 deaths among Maryland residents, by date of death. Description The MD COVID-19 - Total Probable Deaths by Date of Death data layer is a collection of the statewide probable COVID-19 related deaths that have been reported each day by the Vital Statistics Administration by date of death. A death is classified as probable if the person's death certificate notes COVID-19 to be a probable, suspect or presumed cause or condition. Probable deaths are not yet been confirmed by a laboratory test. Some data on deaths may be unavailable due to the time lag between the death, typically reported by a hospital or other facility, and the submission of the complete death certificate. Confirmed deaths are available from the MD COVID-19 - Total Confirmed Deaths by Date of Death data layer. COVID-19 is a disease caused by a respiratory virus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019. COVID-19 is a new virus that hasn't caused illness in humans before. Worldwide, COVID-19 has resulted in thousands of infections, causing illness and in some cases death. Cases have spread to countries throughout the world, with more cases reported daily. The Maryland Department of Health reports daily on COVID-19 cases by county.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/50036695d3744b7ba2bc94f66dd76355_0</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>Maryland iMap</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>MDCOVID19 TotalProbableDeathsByDateOfDeath [Maryland]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>Maryland</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2025-10-07</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
