Pitch
Boston University computational epidemiologist, Elaine Nsoesie, and University of Pretoria data scientist, Vukosi Marivate, collate data on the COVID-19 epidemic in Africa. They need volunteers who can help in collating data (incl. patient demographics, date of diagnosis, location, symptoms, travel history, etc.) in order to support data collection efforts by Ministries of Health (MOH) in Africa by connecting them with volunteers in Africa. Their COVID-19 Africa Line List Dashboard is available online.
