Hi DataMeet,

On page 8 of this document http://covid.bbmpgov.in/reports/report20200617.pdf there is a map which shows location of active cases in Bangalore. Is this data available in machine readable format?

Whoa!

I can't believe that they are showing personally identifiable data on the web portal..

I think its one of their security flaw. They should not publish this type of information in a portal. I deleted the csv from this post because it contains sensitive information.

Thanks Souvik.
Great. I was looking for the coordinates. But seems like they have private info of patients as well!

Thanks again. This portal will do.

But I see no change in it for last few days. May be they are updating the location once in a while? Reaching out to them over email so far as been fruitless.

If anyone knows more up to date database/portal/API, that would be greatly helpful.

I have setup an alert system in my institute based on this data but it is only effective if coordinates of the new cases are in public domain and updated frequently.
