A review of GIS spatiotemporal analysis and web-based mapping for COVID-19

ABSTRACT

The outbreak of diseases such as the pandemic Covid-19 is a critical problem that has emerged throughout the world. The outbreak is believed to be originated from Wuhan, China in December 2019. In February 2020, World Health Organization declared the name of the virus as Covid-19 and it has become a global pandemic in March 2020. This paper aims to review articles related to the application of GIS spatiotemporal analysis and web-based mapping for the Covid-19 pandemic. GIS spatiotemporal analysis is used to track the pattern of the Covid-19 and web-based mapping-based mapping is used to visualize the Covid-19 cases. This proves that GIS is a helpful tool to determine and track the transmission pattern and visualize the Covid-19 cases so that early mitigation can be done to combat the virus
