Re: [OSM-talk] Tagging health facilities offering COVID testing
I would not map them myself or encourage others, but I would say that it is mappable.

I also hope these are not lasting more than a year, but for me this would be a sufficient long time period to consider mapping. At least in bigger cities it is not only interesting for travelling people (of which there are now much fewer) but due to the dynamic situation and the variety of options it might also be useful for locals.Provided that we can reach sufficient completeness and useful distinctions/descriptions.

Re: [OSM-talk] Tagging health facilities offering COVID testing
Where I am, there is wide variety in what days/hours such sites are available, whether they are free or have a cost, whether you need an appointment, and how temporary they are. Some are only around for a few weeks, and I would expect them to last maximum 1 yr. Further, the use is very limited since international travel is way down (and you should not be traveling if you suspect you may have covid!) Thus I do not think they are good candidates for mapping into OSM. A separate layer overlaid on OSM on a dedicated website seems better.

[OSM-talk] Tagging health facilities offering COVID testing
Hi, I am wondering if and how it would be appropriate to map COVID testing facilities. I have seen various national maps but given that they are especially useful during international travel, I think it would be very useful to have them in OSM. I have seen the use of "healthcare:speciality=covid-19", for instance on this node: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/7368671692 But according to TagInfo there are only two uses of that tag value. Surely other people must have been tagging this by now, but how? Note that I am primarily interested in mapping the places where samples are collected, not the laboratories where the samples are actually analyzed. I think the former is more interesting for the general public. Thanks, ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
