COVID-19 Self-check Data
  • This is the self-check data for COVID-19 collected from the SHINE mobile app. It includes information entered by SHINE app users during self-checks, as well as COVID-19 PCR test results and records of COVID-19 vaccination. This is the data that has been anonymized from the collected data.
  • There was no limit to the number of times you can use self-check and PCR test results records in the mobile app. Therefore, each user may have multiple self-check data sets, and the data published includes the input data from the self-check date closest to the PCR test date within 7 days before and after the PCR test.

All data is based on voluntary records from SHINE app users and does not guarantee accuracy; responsibility for the use of this data lies with the user.
