OpenStreetMap and Coronavirus Tracking

Posted by apm-wa on 4 March 2020 in English.

Johns Hopkins University in collaboration with ESRI and others has posted a coronavirus tracking dashboard here that includes an interactive map. The base map comes from a mix of sources including OpenStreetMap. If you click on the icon consisting of four squares in the upper right corner of the map, you get a list of basemap sources, and If you zoom in to a particular country, the source of the geodata automatically appears in the lower right corner of the map along with the other virus-related data sources. It is nice to know that OSM is helping in the effort to contain and reduce the impact of coronavirus.

OSM would not have such data. The Kerala state health department would be the only source I can think of. Please see this: https://dashboard.kerala.gov.in/
