Being a crucial part of data analytics applications, data collection is the process of gathering all data needed in order to answer questions, analyze and predict future trends, actions and scenarios. The data collection stage concerns the identification of the necessary sources from where spatial (and non-spatial) data related to COVID-19 will be retrieved. In this research, a variety of spatial (and non-spatial) data are collected.

The Datasets created contain all the available information relative to COVID19 in Cyprus (eg. number of daily confirmed cases, number of tests, numbers of patients hospitalized and cases in intensive care units, etc.). Additionally, the governmental decrees and response measures are also collected. Data are obtained from the Cyprus National Open Data Portal, the Cyprus Press and Information Office (PIO), the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the Cyprus Official Government Gazette and from the daily announcements of the Cyprus Ministry of Health.
