The Centre for Statistics sponsored the COVID-19 Virtual Data Challenge at Datafest @ EDI, which took place from 30th May to 13th June 2020.
The competition challenged participants to explore the societal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic other than its direct health outcomes.
The winning projects ranged from analysis of Google search surges during COVID-19; an investigation into internet access for remote education in the US; global geographical differences in COVID-19 "interest and awareness"; and a look into the relationship between Singapore's COVID-19 measures and an outbreak of the dengue virus.
