COVID-19

The COVID-19 modulesThe module is an application or tool within the Boost.space system. The entire system is built on this concept of modularity. (module - Contacts) More enable you to monitor COVID-19 statistics (including historical data) globally, or for each country.

For more information on data, please refer to the Data Sources section in this article.

Note

Free operations.

You will not be charged for operationsAn operation is a task performed by module. More used by any of the modules in the COVID-19 app.

Stats

List Global Historical Numbers

This moduleThe module is an application or tool within the Boost.space system. The entire system is built on this concept of modularity. (module - Contacts) More allows you to retrieve historical data for the world.

Limit

Enter how many days in the past you want to start the return of data. The result will return data from this day forward.

The following statistics are available in the module’s output:

Number of Confirmed	The total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the given area.
Number of New Confirmed	The absolute number of new cases in the day, defined as: Number of Confirmed today – Number of Confirmed yesterday.
Growth Factor of Confirmed	A growth factor is defined as: Number of Confirmed today / Number of Confirmed yesterday.
Growth Rate of Confirmed	A growth rate is defined as: Growth Factor of Confirmed – 1.
Number of Deaths	The total number of deaths caused by COVID-19 in the given area.
Number of New Deaths	The absolute number of new deaths in the day, is defined as: Number of Deaths today – Number of Deaths yesterday.
Growth Factor of Deaths	A growth factor is defined as: Number of Deaths today / Number of Deaths yesterday.
Growth Rate of Deaths	A growth rate is defined as: Growth Factor of Deaths – 1.
Number of Recovered	The total number of people who have recovered successfully in the given area.
Number of New Recovered	The absolute number of newly recovered in the day, defined as: Number of Recovered today – Number of Recovered yesterday.
Growth Factor of Recovered	A growth factor is defined as: Number of Recovered today / Number of Recovered yesterday.
Growth Rate of Recovered	A growth rate is defined as: Growth Factor of Recovered– 1.
Number of Active	The total number of active cases in the specified area (can also be computed as Confirmed – Deaths – Recovered)
Number of New Active	The absolute number of new active cases in the day, defined as: Number of Active today – Number of Active yesterday.
Growth Factor of Active	A growth factor is defined as: Number of Active today / Number of Active yesterday.
Growth Rate of Active	A growth rate is defined as: Growth Factor of Active– 1.

List Historical Numbers for a Country

This module allows you to retrieve historical data for a specified Country, a Province in a Country, or a County in a Province of a Country, if available.

Country	Specify the country you want to retrieve the data for. Select the country from the drop-down menu or switch to the mappingMapping links the modules in your scenario. When you map an item, you connected the data retrieved by one module to another module to perform the desired action. For example, you can map the email address and subject lines from the Email > Watch emails module to Google Sheets > Add a row and create a spreadsheet of email addresses... mode (using the map button ) and provide the country name (e.g. `United States`) or ISO 3166-1 alpha codes (e.g. `us` or `usa`).
Province	Select (or map) the province to filter results by (if available).
County	Select (or map) the county to filter results by (if available).
Limit	Specify how many days to the past should the module retrieve.

	Note
	The output of the module offers the same datapoints as the output of the Get Current Numbers for a Country, but in this case, the module returns several bundles instead of one. One bundleA bundle is a chunk of data and the basic unit for use with modules. A bundle consists of items, similar to how a bag may contain separate, individual items. More equals one day.

Get Global Current Number

Retrieves the latest global statistics for COVID-19 in the world.

The module doesn’t need to be set up.

Statistics available in the module’s output.

Get Current Numbers for a Country

This module allows you to get current numbers of the COVID-19 virus for a given Country.

If there are Provincial data available for the Country, you can get the data just for the given Province.

If there are County-level data available for the Province, you can retrieve even more concrete data.

Country

Specify the country you want to retrieve the data for.

Select the country from the drop-down menu or switch to the mapping mode (using the map button) and provide the country name (e.g. United States) or ISO 3166-1 alpha codes (e.g. us or usa).

Province

Select (or map) the province to filter results by (if available).

County

Select (or map) the county to filter results by (if available).

Statistics available in the module’s output.

Data sources

We’re using data available from the public GitHub Repository of Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering.

We’re downloading those data, converting and serializing them to a unified format that we’ve designed, processing them and storing them in our own database, and assorting them by Countries, Provinces, and Counties.

The level of granularity of the data differs from one country to another, for some smaller countries there aren’t counties or even provinces available.

While other services and public APIs act just as a “middle man” between the userCan use the system on a limited basis based on the rights assigned by the admin. More and the datasource, we’re also adding a lot of additional information.Right now, we’re able to compute growth factors, rates and also absolute numbers of new cases for each day, and we’re planning to add even more stats from a variety of datasources, and then provide this aggregated data to our usersCan use the system on a limited basis based on the rights assigned by the admin. More. The Core of the API checks the datasources at regular intervals and refreshes our database periodically.

	Note
	We’re still working on adding new functionalities, new aggregation, new datasources, and so on.
