Thanks to Zindi for a nice quarantine distraction, and congrats to the winners. It's great to see how much activity was generated on this hackathon.

But I still have one question - how will this data be used?

It would be amazing if we can get more information about these wards and try to, for example, overlay the most vulnerable wards with the available medical care capacity to understand which wards are most at risk.

I know for example that the Data Science for Social Impact Group (DSFSI) has data on available hospitial beds in South Africa - see https://github.com/dsfsi/covid19za .

I'm willing to help. Lets take this and make something useful!
