covid19india

CRAN status Lifecycle: experimental

covid19india is designed while working with data on COVID-19 in India. covid19india.org is a data resource with APIs available. It is updated daily and provides count, testing, and vaccine data at the national, state, and district level. This package eases the process for R users to obtain data ready for analysis in hopes of democratizing data science and speed up public health research.

:warning: The package is under active development. :warning: After creating functions for pulling data, additional functions to calculate basic public health metrics and data visualizations will be added.
