COVID-19 point-of-care-test sites in Victoria (24th July 2020): Average travel time and population catchment for each site

The data underpins a study which aimed to investigate the impact of remoteness on the travel time and population catchment for all COVID-19 point-of-care-test sites within Victoria during Stage 4 restrictions during July 2020. <br>There are two files 'mesh_block_summary' and 'testing_site_summary'. <br>In relation to 'mesh_block_summary', please consider the points below.<br>- The data provides the average travel time (in minutes) and distance (in metres) to the closest point-of-care-test site for each mesh block.<br>MB_CODE16: Mesh block identifier Duration: Distance in metresDistance: Travel time in minutesMB_Category_Name_2016: Mesh block categoryDwelling: Number of dwellingsPerson: Number of people<br>In relation to 'testing_site_summary', please consider the points below.<br>- The data provides the average travel time (in minutes) and distance (in metres) for mesh blocks which were closest (based on travel time) to each test site. <br>Site_Name: Name of point-of-care-test siteFacility: Type of siteWebsite: Site websiteCOVID_Lat: Latitude coordinateCOVID_Long: Longitude coordinateDwelling: Number of dwellings within mesh blocks which were closest (based on travel time) to each test site.Population: Number of people within mesh blocks which were closest (based on travel time) to each test site.Mean_distance: Average distance (in metres) for closest mesh blocksMean_duration: Average travel time (in minutes) for closest mesh blocksN_mesh_blocks: Number of mesh blocks which are closestMean_catchment_IRSD: Mean 'Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage' for closest mesh blocks<br>The methodology to derive the data above has been detailed within the forthcoming reference below:<br>Lakhani, A., Wollersheim, D.
