COVID-19 Kerala: In 2020, Jithin K. Sreedharan and I were among the first to publish a COVID-19 dashboard for the state of Kerala. We published the dashboard on March 17, 2020, when Kerala government did not have an official dashboard. We maintained it for 79 days. This initiative led to interactions with the data analysis team from the Kerala government.
