COVID-19 Information Center of Vietnam

CICV

CICV is abbreviation for COVID-19 Information Center of Vietnam.

It is a simple web app that seeks to deliver to you the latest news and statistics regarding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic around the world and in Vietnam.

Summary

The app is built with Express.js, JavaScript, and Pug templating engine.

Data are collected from trusted information sources such as DangCongSan.vn, John HopKins COVID-19 API, CDC and WHO organizations.

This project also aims to demonstrate basic Web Scraping, and RSS parsing methods in JavaScript, which allows you to collect data from other available sources on the Internet and bring it to your website.

However, web scraping belongs to a gray area of legalities, not every resources on the Internet permit scraping and doing so on sources that restrict this could get you into trouble. So scrape responsibly.

Overview

CICV solves the problem of getting incorrect COVID-19 information from non-authorized Internet sources, or wasting a lot of time to to find important COVID-19 information from having to browse multiple sources.

CICV collects information from many trusted sources around the world, and put them together on a single platform where you can just click and find everything you need.
