I know there are already many Covid-19 cases monitoring apps, dashboards, etc. But this runs on your system, giving notifications when new Covid-19 recovered cases, new cases, and/or deaths appear.
npm install -g coronavirus-tracker
coronavirus-tracker [options]
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-i, --interval <interval> data fetching interval (in seconds) (default: 600)
-u, --use-custom-sound use custom sound for notification
-c, --custom-sound-paths <customSoundPaths> paths for custom sound (defaults to the sounds provided in the assets folder)
-d, --data-path <dataPath> path to store JSON data (defaults to {root}/data/data.json)
-c, --clear clear local database before starting (default: false)
-h, --help display help for command
Press Enter if you want to fetch data immediately without waiting for interval. Next interval will be reset.
To use custom notification sound, it needs a little work. Check this blog post for the steps: Node.js: Playing Sounds to Provide Notifications .
