Archived: SSI stopped updating the daily data on March 31, 2023.

Every day, SSI publishes new tracking data on COVID-19 for Denmark. However, automatically finding the most recent data and using it is a bit awkward due to files being randomly named and zipped. The purpose of this repository is simply to automate the annoying parts, making the data as accessible as possible.

In particular, the most recent tracking data can be found on https://fuglede.github.io/covid-19-dk-data/ with URLs that only change if SSI decides to change their filenames. See the bundled readme (Danish) for more information on what data is available.

The data available here is updated every day at 13:10 GMT.

The format of the bundled data makes it easy to get started doing analyses. Here, as an example, we use pandas to see how the effective reproduction number has changed this week:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> pd.read_csv("https://fuglede.github.io/covid-19-dk-data/Rt_cases.csv", sep=";", decimal=",").tail(7)
