Description:
Through 2020, the Government of Ontario has been posting near-daily COVID19 status reports at https://www.ontario.ca/page/2019-novel-coronavirus. These reports are usually updated at 10:30am and 5:30am ET. Unfortunately, the reports as presented are of-the-moment snapshots and provide no historic context for time-based analysis.
Using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org/), this data has been indexed for improved time-based analysis by researchers, journalists, and the public. Reporting begins February 15 and continues to March 19; gaps exist due to the intermittent nature of WBM scraping, especially in February and Early March.
