Coronavirus (COVID-19) Geo-tagged Tweets Dataset

This dataset contains the IDs of geo-tagged tweets. The tweets are captured by an on-going project deployed at https://live.rlamsal.com.np. The model monitors the real-time Twitter feed for these keywords - “corona”, "coronavirus", "covid", "pandemic", "lockdown", "quarantine", "hand sanitizer", "ppe", "n95", different possible variants of "sarscov2", "nCov", "covid-19", "ncov2019", "2019ncov", "flatten(ing) the curve", "social distancing", "work(ing) from home" and the respective hashtag of all these keywords. Complying with Twitter's content redistribution policy, only the tweet IDs are shared. You can re-construct the dataset by hydrating these IDs. The tweet IDs in this dataset belong to the tweets tweeted providing an exact location. Please note that this dataset should be solely used for non-commercial research purposes (ignore every other LICENSE category given on this page).-------------------------------------------------------------------------Coronavirus (COVID-19) Tweets Dataset(200+ Million English Language Tweets; ongoing collection)-------------------------------------------------------------------------Note: I started sharing the IDs of the tweets that had exact 'point' location information, only since April 28, 2020, with some genuine requests coming in from academic researchers who did not want to hydrate the whole lists of IDs shared in the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Tweets Dataset.Update: I have received a lot of requests, especially from Social Science researchers, to also make the geo-tagged tweets created between March 20, 2020, and April 28, 2020, available in this dataset. Hydrating the millions of tweet IDs may come as a tedious task for people with less technical expertise. Therefore, I have started hydrating the IDs provided in the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Tweets Dataset, and I will be sharing the geo-tagged tweets posted in between these dates as the hydration task goes on.

Twitter wants researchers always to pull fresh data. It is because a user might delete a tweet or make their profile protected. If the same tweet has already been pulled and shared on a public domain, it might make the user/community vulnerable to many inferences coming out of the shared data which currently does not exist or is private.
