Context

With the arrival of the COVID19 virus in New Zealand, the ministry of health is tracking new cases and releasing daily updates on the situation on their webpage: https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-current-cases and https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-current-cases/covid-19-current-cases-details. Much of the information given in these updates are not in a machine-friendly format. The objective of this dataset is to provide NZ Minstry of Health COVID19 data in easy-to-use format.

Content

All data in this dataset has been acquired from the New Zealand Minstry of Health's 'COVID19 current cases' webpage, located here: https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-current-cases. The Ministry of Health updates their page daily, that will be the targeted update frequency for this dataset for the Daily Count of Cases dataset. The Case Details dataset which includes travel details on each case will be updated weekly.

Limitations of this dataset

The mission of this project is to reliably convey data that the Ministry of Health has reported in the most digestable format. Enrichment of data is currently out of scope.
