Dear Kenneth,

Many thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate its been difficult with a
lot of the government closed. I'd love some background on how the
dashboard was set up as it seems to work very well. This was my original
question to the DoH:

Can I ask how much the development of the CHP Hong Kong Coronavirus
dashboard cost to roll out? See:
[2]https://chp-dashboard.geodata.gov.hk/cov...

It looks an impressive platform, so was this developed internally (e.g. by
OGCIO or the Lands Dept), or was Johns Hopkins University, Esri, ArcGIS or
another provider contracted to develop this? Or some combination of both.

Any information on the technical background would be very useful as there
doesn't seem to be any "about" page on the website.

Yours faithfully,

Scott Edmunds
