Maged Kamel Boulos, a Chinese researcher, and Este Geraghty, Chief Medical Officer at Esri, have a new research paper out examining various online GIS-enabled tracking of COVID-19.
Kamel Boulos, M.N., Geraghty, E.M. Geographical tracking and mapping of coronavirus disease COVID-19/severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic and associated events around the world: how 21st century GIS technologies are supporting the global fight against outbreaks and epidemics. Int J Health Geogr 19, 8 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12942-020-00202-8
The paper makes some interesting points about availability and timeliness of data comparing information access duing Chinese New Year (2020) with the Hajj (2014). Along with the recent Lancet article on the JHU dashboard, this may become a must-cite for health geography for quite a while to come.
