Our aim is to create a common official OGD dataset of COVID-19 cases of the Swiss Authorities.
We are providing COVID-19 case numbers in machine-readable form (CSV) as OGD resources (Open Government Data), that have been published by official sources (Cantons and FL) online. Sources are specifed with the respective URL(s).
Case numbers include persons tested and treated in the respective Canton resp. Principality of Liechtenstein. Important: Since 09.03.2020, only persons who meet certain test criteria are tested (see e.g. with the Canton of Zurich "Testkriterien" at www.gd.zh.ch/coronavirus).
The data is updated regularly - if available daily. Times of collection and update of the data may vary.
We are seeking to cover all Cantons, and to update the data automatically (by scraping or pipeline). Join our challenge to contribute to this goal: https://db.schoolofdata.ch/project/73
You can get started exploring the data with visualise.ipynb (run it in your browser).
We are available to advise and support interested authorities. You can reach us: https://twitter.com/OpenDataZH (follow us, we send you a private Direct Message, thanks!)
