Coronastatus

Report your health status to get a better overview of COVID-19 in your country

What is this?

We don’t know how many people have COVID-19. So we made a website where people can self-report symptoms. We plot the submissions on a map and show graphs with trends.

Countries where Coronastatus launches

Why?

The government is working on this, but they’re too slow in getting something out fast.

Who’s behind this?

A bunch of developers from around the world that wanted to help out. This is not an official website from the health services.

How to launch the site in your country

Adding a new language should be pretty straightforward. If you need help, you can always ask in the Telegram group chat or contact us by email. The following is needed in order to set up a new language:

  • Set up a new config file: cp config.example.json config.json. LOCALE should be one of the locales from here. CONTRY_CODE should be the Alpha-2-code listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes
  • In app/locales you have to add
    • Translations for all the sentences in en.json. The keys are the same in all the {LOCALE}.json-files, and the values are the translations. We recommend translating everything in the file first, and then testing the site in order to verify that the translations look ok in context.
  • In app/countrySpecific you have to add (follow filename convention of the files that are already there):
    • A word list that is used for generating unique profile links. If the word list contains between 1000 and 10000 words, you should set PASSCODE_LENGTH: 4 in the config. If it contains more than 10000 words, PASSCODE_LENGTH: 3 should be sufficient.
    • List of municipalities (we can help with this Check Here).
    • List of postal code coordinates (we have a script for this Check Here).
  • Configure URL paths in app/domain/urls.ts (set up for the COUNTRY_CODE you added)
  • Write a privacy statement in app/views/privacy-statement/{COUNTRY_CODE}-privacy-statement.ejs
  • Add an iamge that will used when sharing the url in social media in /static/{COUNTRY_CODE}/social-media.png. @amritnagi or @adriaanvanrossum can create one if you provide them with text.
  • You also need a domain (preferably coronastatus.tld if it is available), and a server to run the app on. We can assist you with setting this up.
  • We can host the site for you if you want that. Just send a message to us in telegram. This makes it easier to maintain and deploy new changes to all the sites. We will give you access to the server as well. If you insist on hosting it yourself, please add your name to the README here
