Data Descriptions

28 variables. Include:

New case New case (7 day rolling average) Recovered Active case Local cases Imported case ICU Death Cumulative deaths

People tested Cumulative people tested Positivity rate Positivity rate (7 day rolling average)

Data Sources

Column 1 to 22 are Twitter data, which the Tweets are retrieved from Health DG @DGHisham timeline with Twitter API. A typical covid situation update Tweet is written in a relatively fixed format. Data wrangling are done in Python/Pandas, numerical values extracted with Regular Expression (RegEx). Missing data are added manually from Desk of DG (kpkesihatan).

Column 23 ['remark'] is my own written remark regarding the Tweet status/content.

Column 24 ['Cumulative people tested'] data is transcribed from an image on MOH COVID-19 website. Specifically, the first image under TABURAN KES section in each Situasi Terkini daily webpage of http://covid-19.moh.gov.my/terkini. If missing, the image from CPRC KKM Telegram or KKM Facebook Live video is used. Data in this column, dated from 1 March 2020 to 11 Feb 2021, are from Our World in Data, their data collection method as stated here.

Why does this dataset exist?

MOH does not publish any covid data in csv/excel format as of today, they provide the data as is, along with infographics that are hardly informative. In an undisclosed email, MOH doesn't seem to understand my request for them to release the covid public health data for anyone to download and do their analysis if they do wish.

To be updated periodically

A simple visualization dashboard is now published on Tableau Public. It's is updated daily. Do check it out! More charts to be added in the near future

This repository collects Singapore and Malaysia COVID-19 data from multiple data sources such as zaobao.sg and the Ministry of Health (MOH). The repository is updated multiple times per day. From June 1, 2020, Zaobao stopped updating the data so only Singapore MOH data are still daily updated. This database contains, updated until June 1st: detailed information about each case (demography data, date of onset, hospitalization, date of report, travel information, date of discharge or death), important action taken by the Singapore government, records of activities and status of each case, aggregated data by day, the daily numbers of suspect cases, close contacts, number of cases, deaths and their status. The repository contains also : the daily press release from MOH (until end of March 2023), the daily press release from the MOH of Malaysia, and the WHO situation reports. The repository contains information in multiple language.

Project Tycho datasets contain case counts for reported disease conditions for countries around the world. The Project Tycho data curation team extracts these case counts from various reputable sources, typically from national or international health authorities, such as the US Centers for Disease Control or the World Health Organization. These original data sources include both open- and restricted-access sources. For restricted-access sources, the Project Tycho team has obtained permission for redistribution from data contributors. All datasets contain case count data that are identical to counts published in the original source and no counts have been modified in any way by the Project Tycho team, except for aggregation of individual case count data into daily counts when that was the best data available for a disease and location. The Project Tycho team has pre-processed datasets by adding new variables, such as standard disease and location identifiers, that improve data interpretability. We also formatted the data into a standard data format. All geographic locations at the country and admin1 level have been represented at the same geographic level as in the data source, provided an ISO code or codes could be identified, unless the data source specifies that the location is listed at an inaccurate geographical level. For more information about decisions made by the curation team, recommended data processing steps, and the data sources used, please see the README that is included in the dataset download ZIP file.

The objective of this study is to understand the epidemiology of COVID-19 in Sabah from March 2020 through October 2021 and to determine the factors associated with COVID-19 severity. The data used in this study were provided by the Surveillance Unit, Sabah State Health Department, Ministry of Health Malaysia. Individuals aged ≤5 years old and ≥ 65 years old (AOR=1.87, 95% CI: 1.77–1.99), non-citizens of Malaysia (AOR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.30–1.64), male gender (AOR=1.06, 95% CI: 1.01–1.12), native Sabahan (AOR=1.30, 95% CI: 1.19–1.42), presence of symptoms of COVID-19 infection (AOR=23.33, 95% CI: 20.75-26.23), presence of comorbidity (AOR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.67-1.94), high exposure risk of COVID-19 infection (AOR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.28-0.71), and incomplete COVID-19 vaccination (AOR=8.53, 95% CI: 7.35-9.89) were statistically significantly associated with developing severe COVID-19 infection.
