Datasets relating to coronavirus (covid-19) and demographics in Sierra Leone # Coronavirus (covid-19) in Sierra Leone This repository contains datasets relating to coronavirus in Sierra Leone, as well as on demographic and other information from the 2015 Population and Household Census (PHC). See here for a full description of how the data files have been created from the source data, including the R code. Last updated: 10 June 2020. ## Context The novel 2019 coronavirus (covid-19) arrived late to West Africa and Sierra Leone in particular.

The file contains the cumulative number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the 14 districts of Sierra Leone as a time series. I have used the R tidyverse to reshape the data and ensure naming is consistent with the other data files. 2. **Demographic statistics by district** (`sl_districts_demographics.csv`). Data from the 2015 Population and Housing Census (PHC), sourced from Open Data Sierra Leone. The dataset covers the 14 districts of Sierra Leone, which increased to 16 in 2017.

Data from the 2015 Population and Housing Census (PHC), sourced from Open Data Sierra Leone. The dataset presents the main sources of information, such as television or ra …
