potential impact COVID-19

As the global communities and businesses seek
to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, we can take these five proactive steps to
create an instant picture of risk areas and response capacity.
Step 1: Map the cases
Map the confirmed and active cases, fatalities, and recovering cases
to identify where COVID-19 infections exist and have occurred.
Step 2: Map the spread
Time-enabled maps can reveal how infections spread over the time
and where you may want to target interventions.
Step 3: Map vulnerable
populations
COVID-19 disproportionately impacts certain demographics such as
the elderly and those with underlying health conditions. Mapping social
vulnerability, age, and other factors help you monitor the most at-risk groups
and regions.
Step 4: Map your capacity
Map facilities, employees or citizens, medical resources,
equipment, goods, and services to understand and respond to current and
potential impacts of COVID-19.
Step 5: Communicate with maps
Use interactive web maps, dashboard apps, and story maps to help
rapidly communicate your situation.
In response to this ongoing public health emergency, we have
to develop an interactive
web-based dashboard to visualize and track reported cases
in real-time. This dashboard illustrates the location and number of confirmed
COVID-19 cases, deaths and recoveries for all affected countries. It helps to
provide researchers, public health authorities and the general public with a
user-friendly tool to track the outbreak as it unfolds.
The dashboards will report cases at the, city level, state
level and at national level. This will work on a semi-automated living data
stream strategy.
Our primary data source will be an online platform run by
members of the Indian medical community, which aggregates local media and
government reports to provide COVID-19 cumulative case totals in near real-time
at the province level in India. Every 15 minutes, the cumulative case counts
are updated. For countries and regions outside India, Cumulative case counts to
frequently lag other sources; we therefore manually update these case numbers
throughout the day when new cases are identified. To identify new cases, can
monitor various twitter feeds, online news services, and direct communication
sent through the dashboard. Before manually updating the dashboard, we confirm
the case numbers using regional and local health departments.
