Dear Census and Statistics Department,

1. How many infection people have been found after mandatory testing of lock down buildings?
2. We only can get poverty data which based on 18 districts, is there any more granular (on a geographic level) data available?

Thank you for your assistance,
Yours faithfully,
Yanning Yao
