line list – a table summarizing information about people who are infected, dead, recovered etc. The table would include demographic and location information. Such a dataset would help us understand how COVID19 transmission in Africa is similar or different to what’s being observed in other regions of the world.

This would be part of a broader effort focused on collating COVID19 data globally. We need volunteers ASAP to help in this effort. The data will be made publicly available and volunteers will be acknowledged.
