Sources
WHO, CDC, ECDC, Public Health Agency of Canada, RIVM, and other national or regional public-health agencies. ECDC is first-class official/high-confidence evidence and can drive verified report, advisory, monitoring, and official count views.
State health departments, local health departments, and hospitals or health systems. These can support U.S. monitoring, quarantine, treatment, and local advisory records while staying distinct from federal official counts.
ProMED and similar professional outbreak bulletins. These can inform monitoring and candidate review but should not override WHO, CDC, ECDC, or national agency counts.
Reuters, Associated Press, The Guardian, BMJ/news pages, and reputable local news. These are clearly marked supplemental unless corroborated by an official public-health source.
GDELT DOC API results are discovery-only candidate records. They are useful for finding leads, but Hantamap does not publish them as confirmed reports automatically.
Hantamap uses static JSON, GitHub Actions, Leaflet/OpenStreetMap, and free public pages. It does not require a paid geocoding API, database, AWS, Mapbox, or paid map tiles.
Hantamap is an independent portfolio/software project. It is not affiliated with any public-health agency, and source-linked records may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded. Always use official public-health sources for decisions.
