❗ ❗ ❗ Data changes by RIVM - 31 March 2020 #44 ❗ ❗ ❗
CoronaWatchNL collects COVID-19 disease count cases in The Netherlands. Numbers are collected from the RIVM (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment) website on a daily basis. This project standardizes, and publishes data and makes it Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). We aim to collect a complete time series and prepare a dataset for reproducible analysis and academic use.
Dutch:
CoronalWatchNL verzamelt ziektecijfers over COVID-19 in Nederland. Dagelijks worden de cijfers verzameld van de website van het RIVM. Dit project standaardiseert en publiceert de gegevens en maakt ze vindbaar, toegankelijk, interoperabel en herbruikbaar (FAIR). We streven ernaar om een dataset beschikbaar te stellen voor reproduceerbare analyses en wetenschappelijk gebruik.
The following datasets are available for reuse. ❗ Daily updates ❗

CoronaWatchNL collects copies of the raw data such that data collection is verifiable. Copies of the collected data can be found in the folder raw_data/. The data isn't standardised.
The following sources are used for data collection.
| Source | Institute | Collected variables |
|---|---|---|
| https://www.rivm.nl/nieuws/actuele-informatie-over-coronavirus | RIVM | Positively tested patients, Fatalities (total), Hospitalized (total) |
| https://www.rivm.nl/coronavirus-kaart-van-nederland-per-gemeente | RIVM | Positive tests per municipality |
| https://www.rivm.nl/nieuws/actuele-informatie-over-coronavirus/data | RIVM | Epidemiological reports |
| https://www.stichting-nice.nl/ | Stichting NICE | Postively tested patients admitted to IC, Number of ICUs with positively tested patient(s), Number of fatal IC cases, Number of survived IC cases |
Since 3 March 2020, RIVM reports the number of diagnoses with the coronavirus and their municipality of residence on a daily base. The data contains the total number of positively tested patients. It is not a dataset with the current number of sick people in the Netherlands. The RIVM does not currently provide data on people who have been cured.
The following graphs visualize the development of the COVID-19 disease outbreak. The underlying data can be found in the data folder. The graphs can be found in the plots folder. See the license section for information about sharing the graphs.
