The site consolidates sources of coronavirus maps and GIS data to streamline access. This includes the highly visited Johns Hopkins University’s near-realtime coronavirus interactive map as well as a similar map dashboard provided by the World Health Organization. Both map dashboards feature regular updates aggregated from health organizations reporting confirmed cases, deaths, and recoveries from the coronavirus. Most of the featured maps, if not all, seem to be limited to those built using Esri’s mapping software, in particular using their ArcGIS map dashboard.
Every Monday at 4 pm the Project Team meets to discuss the progress of the Project.
