Our rules for sources
- We use the organisation that sets or first publishes a number, never a site that copies it.
- Every tracker links to the page the number is read from, so you can check it in one click.
- We follow each publisher’s terms of use and licence. Government open data is used under the Singapore Open Data Licence where it applies.
- If we have to switch sources for a series, the tracker page and What’s new say so, from the date it happened.
“From wave 1” means the source is chosen and its tracker is being built. It turns to “In use” on the day the first number from it goes up.
