COVID-19 Data Norway
Public data about the COVID-19-situation in Norway
Motivation
The current state of publicly available data about the COVID-19-situtation in Norway is a mix of PDF-reports, Excel-files, Power BI-dashboards and public registries. Further, much of the data is only released as cumulative statistics at aggregated levels (e.g. MSIS). The absence of detailed data has created a market for media outlets to release local “situation reports” behind paywalls (see: Aftenposten). This project is a an open-source effort to make data about the Covid-19 situtation in Norway available to the public in a timely and coherent manner. Data is updated daily from official sources such as The Institute of Public Health and Norwegian Directorate of Health.
Contributing to the project
This project is a collaborative and voluntary effort. There are many ways to contribute, both as an individual and as an organization. Read the contribute section and visit the github-repository if you are interested.
Examples: Use of data
The Case Dashboard and Case Map illustrates how the data can potentially be used. The dashboard shows current Covid-19 Cases in Norway at municipality and district-level reported to the Norwegian Surveillance System for Communicable Diseases (MSIS) with fully available source code.
