Outdated information for France

[mikael-s]

Some policy informations are not up-to-date for France for several months. For instance your database states that:

• Public events are cancelled
• Gatherings are restricted for 10 people or less
• It is recommended not to leave the house
• It is recommended not to travel between cities

This is not the case.

You seem to be relying on an outdated webpage. According to your notes, your source is: https://web.archive.org/web/20200701055822/https://www.gouvernement.fr/en/coronavirus-covid-19 However as we can see in the URL this webpage was captured on July 1st. But the main problem is that the current webpage itself was not updated since June 22nd, as indicated at the top! This doesn't mean nothing changed but that the government didn't manage to maintain an up-to-date English webpage.

Hi @mikael-s

We've noted this and we'll try to correct the French data by next week. Processing policy briefs/releases in different languages is a bit tricky for the data team, thanks a lot for pointing this out!

We'll keep the issue open until it's fixed.

Hi @mikael-s

We've worked through the week to correct the French data -- could you have a look at the latest version to see if this reflects the observed policies?

Thanks. Saptarshi.
