<div dir="ltr"><div>Where I am, there is wide variety in what days/hours such sites are available, whether they are free or have a cost, whether you need an appointment, and how temporary they are. Some are only around for a few weeks, and I would expect them to last maximum 1 yr. Further, the use is very limited since international travel is way down (and you should not be traveling if you suspect you may have covid!) Thus I do not think they are good candidates for mapping into OSM. A separate layer overlaid on OSM on a dedicated website seems better. <br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Oct 7, 2020 at 7:52 AM Antonin Delpeuch (lists) <<a href="mailto:lists@antonin.delpeuch.eu">lists@antonin.delpeuch.eu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
I am wondering if and how it would be appropriate to map COVID testing<br>
facilities. I have seen various national maps but given that they are<br>
especially useful during international travel, I think it would be very<br>
useful to have them in OSM.<br>
<br>
I have seen the use of "healthcare:speciality=covid-19", for instance on<br>
this node:<br>

<br>
But according to TagInfo there are only two uses of that tag value.<br>
Surely other people must have been tagging this by now, but how?<br>
<br>
Note that I am primarily interested in mapping the places where samples<br>
are collected, not the laboratories where the samples are actually<br>
analyzed. I think the former is more interesting for the general public.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
