This chatbot allows you to track various COVID-19 statistics in Finland, such as the total number of confirmed cases, tests and deaths. Currently supported platforms are Telegram and Discord which can be run separately or in parallel depending on which API tokens are provided to the program. The bot operates both in English and Finnish depending on the per-channel preference. For now, the choice of language is the only state persisted by the program.
Here are the available commands since v2.0.0:
| Command | Explanation |
|---|---|
| situation | Show a situation update |
| age | Total cases by age group |
| sex | Total cases by sex |
| hcd | Stats for healthcare districts |
| municipality | Stats for municipalities |
| usage | Show command list |
| about | Show about |
| lang | Change language |
