Public have a right to NSW Health COVID 19 time series data: Berejiklian Govt has a duty to make the data publicly available at no cost-data is needed to research origin and spread of the Wuhan Virus in NSW

                                                   Construction workers in Lane Cove.
                                                   These workers appear to from China



While NSW Heath publishes maps and statistics of the COVID-19/Wuhan Virus's contagion, it does so on a daly basis without archives. The archives, and the underlying data, are vital to researchers who have an interest in determining the origin and spread of the virus. There is an obvious public interest in that data and its analysis.The Berejiklian Government has a duty to make that data immediately available.
