Note that BoundedBirthDecade adds not additional information and will be removed in a future release.

Release 1.42
Released May 3, 2021
 * CovidInfection.CovidLOC column values simplified to "Quarantine", "Isolation", and "Died". Other values were no longer reliable. In cases where one of these three remaining values does not apply to the resident, the column is now NULL. See wiki page for this dataset for details.

Release 1.41
Released April 26, 2021
 * Brand added to StaffCovidVaccination dataset. See wiki page for this dataset for details.
 * In cases where a given staff in StaffRoster had multiple BoundedBirthDecades due to data entry error, the modal birth decade is now used.
 * Gaps filled in daily records fro some residents in CovidTransmission dataset.

Release 1.4
Released April 19, 2021
 * New StaffRoster dataset added which lists all active staff each month. See wiki page on this dataset for details.
 * RoomCapacity and BunkCapacity in CovidTransmission show NULL when this value is not available. Previously, these columns showed 0 when the value was unknown.

Release 1.3
Released April 12, 2021
 * New CovidTests dataset added which provides results of all completed Covid-related tests on residents, when data are available. See wiki page on this dataset for details.
 * FloorNumber and BedLevel added to CovidTransmission dataset. See wiki page for this dataset for details.
 * Some duplicate appointments removed from Activity and durations of activities with a recorded duration over 720 minutes set to NULL as they are likely data entry errors.
 * CovidInfection.Sequence column set to NULL as it was problematic. This column will be removed in a future release. To get all values for any given test, joining on ResidentId + Day is sufficient.  See wiki page for this dataset for further details.
 * Set Activity.PersonContacts and Activity.PersonContactMinutes to 0 for all educational activities on or after April 8, 2021 because all such activities have been conducted in-residence from that point to the present.

Release 1.23
Released April 5, 2021
 * StaffCovidInfection.Gender now shows NULL if not "Male" or "Female".
 * Removed records in StaffWork where there were multiple records per staff per day per shift. StaffWork now contains only one record maximum per staff per day per shift.

 * Removed errant semicolon from CovidInfection dataset
 * StaffWork.Institution and StaffCovidVaccination columns now show "Other" if work/vaccination location is not a prison.

Release 1.22

Release 1.21
Released March 22, 2021


 * Bug fix wherein Sequence value for CovidInfection records where element="TestResultDate" was incorrect. Corrected by setting Day value of these records to equal the collection date of the test.  Value column of these records still shows the date the test result was received, which may be the same as the collection date or may be a later date.


 * Bug fix wherein demographic values were missing from the demographics dataset. Corrected by setting the minimum startdate of all demographic values to January 1, 2016.
