Monthly Dengue Vector Surveillance data
Dear Food and Environmental Hygiene Department,
I am interested in the Monthly Dengue Vector Surveillance data but I can't find it on data.gov.hk.
Are you able to provide the 2013-2024 Monthly Dengue Vector Surveillance data in as usable form as possible – i.e. not PDF but the original spreadsheets (XLS or CSV or other machine readable format)?
Do you also have have coordinates for the different "Locations" and survey areas tested – the exact or averaged/obfuscated for somewhere in the sub-district?
Yours faithfully,
Scott Edmunds
