The Infectious Diseases Toolkit (IDTk) is a community effort to detail best practices related to infectious disease data management, and showcase solutions that were developed to deal with outbreaks. It was created as part of the BeYond COVID (BY-COVID) project. More information can be found in the about page.
IDTk is an open community project and if you'd like to help with this project, please check out the following pages for more information:
The content of the material is developed in Markdown and a templating system (Jekyll) is used to format the Markdown pages and generate a website at (https://www.infectious-diseases-toolkit.org). However, there are multiple ways to contribute, and it is not a requirement that you are able to use these systems in order to contribute!

The BY-COVID project aims to make COVID-19 data accessible not only to researchers, but to anyone that to anyone that could benefit from it, such as policy makers or hospital staff.
Going beyond SARS-CoV-2 data, the project will provide a framework for making data from other infectious diseases open and accessible to everyone.
