CORONAVIRUS GIS MAPPING
CORONAVIRUS GIS MAPPING
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread all over the World but some countries has affected very severely. To mapping all the data with correct location can be done by Geographical mapping that is called Coronavirus GIS Map. https://www.atomaviation.com/gis-and-remote-sensing/
Overview
People get infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. With this disease mostly older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are likely to develop serious illness.The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face. The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. https://atomdrones.com/
Symptoms of COVID-19
- Fever
- Tiredness
- Dry cough.
- Shortness of breath
- Aches and pains
- Sore throat
- Very few people will report diarrhoea, nausea or a runny nose.
Prevention for COVID-19
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or clean them with alcohol-based hand rub.
- Maintain at least 1 metre distance between you and people coughing or sneezing.
- Avoid touching your face.
- Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
- Stay home if you feel unwell.
- Refrain from smoking and other activities that weaken the lungs.
- Practice physical distancing by avoiding unnecessary travel and staying away from large groups of people
HOW CORONAVIRUS GIS MAPPING DONE
The coronavirus data is mapped by geocoding at the smallest geographic level available. This can vary greatly by country from mapping at the country level to mapping COVID-19 cases at the county level. The level of spatial detail varies depending on the country of origin that is reporting the cases. Since the data is displayed as a geocoded point, the location of the circular symbol is located in the center of the geographic area it represents. In China, the number of reported, recovered, and deaths is displayed at the province level. Therefore the graduated symbols are placed in the center of each province.
