Note: Due to data reporting changes, daily updates for this project were suspended following the Friday, April 1, 2022, update. Data will remain frozen as of that date, but the project and its source code will remain available indefinitely.

This repository contains the daily data files used to generate my COVID-19 dashboard for Howell County, Missouri, as well as the Hugo source files needed to generate the page, and the Python source files for processing and updating the daily data files.

1. Daily data is entered into the relevant file in the daily-data directory.
2. Python scripts process the daily data into files for the dashboard.
3. Hugo uses these data files and template files to generate HTML.
4. The generated HTML is deployed to AWS.
