Full description

The data underpins a study which aimed to investigate the impact of remoteness on the travel time and population catchment for all COVID-19 point-of-care-test sites within Victoria during Stage 4 restrictions during July 2020.

There are two files 'mesh_block_summary' and 'testing_site_summary'.

In relation to 'mesh_block_summary', please consider the points below.

- The data provides the average travel time (in minutes) and distance (in metres) to the closest point-of-care-test site for each mesh block.

MB_CODE16: Mesh block identifier

Duration: Distance in metres

Distance: Travel time in minutes

MB_Category_Name_2016: Mesh block category

Dwelling: Number of dwellings

Person: Number of people

In relation to 'testing_site_summary', please consider the points below.

- The data provides the average travel time (in minutes) and distance (in metres) for mesh blocks which were closest (based on travel time) to each test site.

Site_Name: Name of point-of-care-test site

Facility: Type of site

Website: Site website

COVID_Lat: Latitude coordinate

COVID_Long: Longitude coordinate

Dwelling: Number of dwellings within mesh blocks which were closest (based on travel time) to each test site.

Population: Number of people within mesh blocks which were closest (based on travel time) to each test site.

Mean_distance: Average distance (in metres) for closest mesh blocks

Mean_duration: Average travel time (in minutes) for closest mesh blocks

N_mesh_blocks: Number of mesh blocks which are closest

Mean_catchment_IRSD: Mean 'Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage' for closest mesh blocks

The methodology to derive the data above has been detailed within the reference below:
