Pakistan witnessed its first Corona virus patient on February 26th 2020. It's a bumpy ride since then. The cases are increasing gradually and we haven't seen the worst yet. While, there are few government resources for cumulative updates, there is no place where you can find the city level patients data. It's also not possible to find the running chronological tally of patients as they test positive. We have decided to create our own dataset for all the researchers out there with such details so we can model the infection spread and forecast the situation in coming days. We hope, by doing so, we will be able to inform policy makers on various intervention models, and healthcare professionals to be ready for the influx of new patients. We certainly hope, that this little contribution will go a long way for saving lives in Pakistan
The dataset contains seven columns for date, number of cases, number of deaths, number of people recovered, travel history of those cases, and location of the cases (province and city).
The first version has the data from first case of February 26 2020 to April 19, 2020. We intend to publish weekly updates
Users are allowed to use, copy, distribute and cite the dataset as follows: “Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani, Sana Rasheed, Pakistan Corona Virus Data, Kaggle Dataset Repository, April 19, 2020.”
