We suggest you load the module via require, considering ES modules in Node.js are not yet stable.

Executing a method will return a Promise. The examples here utilise async/await to access the data.

JavaScript:

const { NovelCovid } = require('novelcovid');

TypeScript:

import { NovelCovid } from 'novelcovid';

Everything is listed on the npm site.

Since data.updated returns milliseconds, you can do new Date(data.updated) as it returns an ISO Date

You can read more about new Date() here
