#COVID19 New Caledonia

Background

The Coronavirus epidemic is progressing rapidly in metropolitan France, which has an Open-Data platform whose quality is certified and whose content is regularly updated.

Examples:

• Confirmed cases in Open Data of the Government in metropolitan France
• Santé Publique France

To date, I struggle to find a structured and easily accessible dataset. So I decided to launch this initiative.

Game rules and data sources

Data quality plays a key role. My requirement is to communicate accurate data as quickly as possible as soon as they are announced.

For this, I take as my main channel that of the Government of New Caledonia, in particular:

• DASS website, New Caledonia Government Department
• New Caledonia La 1ère
• The Journal Télévisé sur NC1 which relays information centralised by the government on a daily basis
• The government's dedicated website: https://covid19.nc/point-de-situation-en-new-caledonia/

Objective

My objective is to:

• Parry the best, with the means of the edge (it is for the moment an individual effort)
• Prefer not to disseminate data than to disseminate false data

NB: As soon as the local authorities have produced such a file in Open Data (and I will actively campaign for it), this dataset will stop. A petition on change.org has been launched to this effect.
