Riskline since the start of the pandemic has used the John Hopkins Coranavirus Resource Centre as our source for Covid-19 statistics.
However, John Hopkins is discontinuing the resource centre on 10th March.
Because of this, we will be transitioning to the use of WHO Covid-19 data on 8th March
As of February 23rd, we have added 4 new City Reports for Mexico covering the following cities:
The following changes have been made:
We will be making changes to some content in our Destination (country and territories) reports to streamline the information available. These changes will affect our Country Report API - the structure of the API will not change - the API will continue to have fields for these sections, but simply return a 'null' value.
We have updated our location database to keep in line with ISO standards.
We have added "Extreme cold" as a subcategory for our Alerts.
We will be updating the names of two destinations in our database to better align with ISO naming:
In light of the recent decision by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to change the name of "monkeypox" to "mpox", we are starting the process to change our reporting of the disease from “monkeypox” to “mpox”. We will eventually phase out the former term and replace it with "mpox".
The last major update to our Alert reporting system came in late 2015 and allowed Riskline analysts to double their daily volume of reports.
As Covid-19 continues to evolve, we recognise that some of the information that we have provided since the start of the pandemic in early 2020 is no longer relevant or important to today's traveller or travel manager.
