By tracking specific case details such as age, sex, and residential neighbourhood, the collection offers a clear view of how the pandemic has affected different segments of the population. It serves as a foundational resource for understanding the local epidemiological landscape and the socio-geographic distribution of the virus across the city.

This resource is ideal for developing epidemiological models that track the transmission rates of the virus within specific urban neighbourhoods. It is well-suited for performing demographic studies to identify which age groups or regions have experienced the highest rates of hospitalisation. Additionally, health researchers can use the data to study the correlation between geographic location and healthcare outcomes, while city planners can utilise the notification dates to evaluate the effectiveness of local lockdown measures or public health interventions.
