What are the most reliable sources to collect data with regard to COVID -19?

I am looking for regional/provincial statistics from #India & #Pakistan of the Covid-19 cases. Has anyone collected data from government websites? How often are they updated? Please help.

What contributions cell phones have made in gathering data?

Greetings and have a great day.

I have sincerely some fascination for the Geriatric groups. In fact I have now had no study project in my hands to continue due to safety issues . Moreover COVID-19 pandemic condition is going on. My data collector‘s group have denied to collect data from the patients right now in pandemic era for their safety purpose as well. But I want to conduct a study and collect data from the Geriatric patients related to NCDs even in this odd situation.

Can anybody help me by sharing ideas what type of NCDs component will be more convenient to collect data right now in this pandemic condition. If you want you can share your ideas dropping in my mail ‘’gacherjya@hotmail.com’’ or here whatever you like best.

I must be thanking you in advance for sharing your kind ideas with me.

Stay safe and healthy

Best regards and Sincerely.

Our lab has been collecting longitudinal survey data on the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the local community. We have so far collected multiple waves of data over the past year. During our last survey administration, we inadvertently sent out a draft version of the survey to 100 people (out of 500+). We stopped the survey and then sent out the corrected final version to the remaining people. For the 100 who completed the draft survey, we invited them to complete the corrected final version. During the retake, there was a major event that happened in the locale where we were collecting data. About 50 people completed the retake before the event and the other 50 after the event.

We are trying to find past studies that have capitalized on major events happening during data collection. For this study, we are specifically wanting to find a study that has baseline data and then follow-up data completed either before or after a major event. Would anyone know of any such studies?

In my case, there are some studies that my team and I need to collect data monthly in situ for laboratory analysis (major ions and stable isotopes), such as rainwater, surface water, and groundwater samples for a hydrological cycle that started last November here in southeastern Brazil. Let's share some ideas and experiences about that situation. :)

Does anyone have information on national registries regarding cognitive or daily activity or general health limitations or diagnoses following Covid-19 infection?

I plan to collect data through the questionnaire survey, where the face-to-face interview is essential. However, it is pretty tricky due to the preventive measures of Covid-19. So, what could be an alternative method/option/strategy except for phone survey for collecting data?
