New Tracking Resource: Johns Hopkins CSSE Novel Coronavirus Dashboard

GIS Dashboard Zoomed out
















#14,727

In our constant strive to find the latest information on the growing novel coronavirus epidemic in China - one which has now spilled over into at least a dozen other countries - I'm happy to report on a new online dashboard which has been crafted by the The Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU).

The accompanying blog post describes how the dashboard is updated.
GIS Dashboard

In response to this ongoing public health emergency, we developed an online dashboard (static snapshot shown below) to visualize and track the reported cases on a daily timescale; the complete set of data is downloadable as a google sheet. The case data visualized is collected from various sources, including WHO, U.S. CDC, ECDC China CDC (CCDC), NHC and Dingxiangyuan.
Dingxiangyuan is a website that aggregates NHC summaries and local CCDC reports in near real-time, providing more current regional case estimates than the national level reporting organizations are capable of, and is thus used for all the mainland China cases reported in our dashboard (confirmed, suspected, recovered, deaths). 
U.S. cases (confirmed, suspected, recovered, deaths) are taken from the U.S. CDC, and all other country (suspected and confirmed) case data is taken from the corresponding regional health departments. The dashboard is intended to provide the public with an understanding of the outbreak situation as it unfolds, with transparent data sources. 
We are currently in the process of conducting additional modeling of this emerging outbreak, and will update this blog post with the results soon.
