1/ Following up, I built a system that scans the #COVID19SL press-releases published on the @infodprtsl website (dgi.gov.lk) for structured information - like statistics, isolated areas etc.

Output is at github.com/nuuuwan/nopdf_… and is updated every few hours.

2/ The output contains,
- Copies of the original press-releases (JPEGs)
- Plain text, from #OCR
- Structured information as JSON
- A summary structured information in #Markdown

(All updated every few hours)

E.g. here's the output for the press-release published today (June 13):

3/ The information might be useful data analysts, medical researches and journalists.
