The csv contains a column whose content is not defined: pcr_rapida_positivo

(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmcastagnetto/covid-19-peru-data/main/datos/covid-19-peru-data.csv)

Is this PCR information, or is this serologic information?

commented

At some point the official public source at MINSA was publishing positive cases confirmed by

  • PCR
  • Serologic (rapid) tests
  • PCR + serologic tests

The latter data corresponds to that column.

Unfortunately, the official sources stopped reporting those that were tested using both methods, which is why that column is mostly empty.
