Ids of tweets written in Dutch containing the phrase covid or corona used in the project PuReGoME. Ids are stored one on each line in zipped text files per day in folders per year. For example, the ids of tweets of Friday 13 March 2020 can be found in the file 2020/20200313.zip
The tweets have been selected with the regular expression covid|corona . The expression also selects words of which covid or corona is a part, like coronatest. The language of a tweet is determined by the Twitter metadata field lang. Only tweets with the lang value nl have been included.
