MIDAS

Created by Vukosi Marivate, Elaine Nsoesie and Consortium for African COVID-19 Data
Description:

The repository collates data on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Africa that includes cases, deaths, and recoveries. The data are obtained from official sources such as the World Health Organization, Departments and Ministries of Health, African CDC, and unofficial sources (news, etc.). The repository contains time series and line lists – a table summarizing information about people who are infected, dead, or recovered. The table for each African country would include demographic, location, and symptom (where available) information for each reported case.
