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.
