Feel free to link them. Brief googling didn't turn up any for me.

It depends on the country, in the US you should subscribe to CDC alerts and follow the news.

In South Korea people get emergency alerts on their phones whenever they enter an area that is affected.

This strategy may be used by other countries too in the near future, so check if emergency alerts are configured on your phone.

Which one of those will tell me when covid 19 is in my city and not bother me otherwise? Supposing I'm not willing to bet that my government will be operating with the efficiency of South Korea's, I mean.
If there's no official data, the service won't have it either.
