Deep understanding and analysis require advanced satellite remote sensing and spatial analysis techniques in Epidemiology. Advanced techniques and methods are to be used with the help of specific software. A variety of results are expected, including models of spatio-temporal human behavior, cartographic products and GIS applications (like digital maps, animated time-series maps and dashboards).
Below are a few selected GIS products that are produced using open-source solutions.
Digital Maps
The digital map is an electronic map, which operation is based on a combination of graphic elements to highlight specific phenomena within a predefined geographic area.
Below is a static map that showcase the distribution of confirmed COVID-19 cases and Deaths in Cyprus per district in 2020, along with a few statistical graphs and charts.
Animated (time series) Maps
Along with location information, time provide another dimension for analysis and visualization of data.
Below are two animated (time-series) maps that showcase the distribution of confirmed COVID-19 cases (per 100k population and weekly sum) in Cyprus per district in 2020 and 2021.
Mortality Rate and total number of COVID-19 deaths
The animated (time series) map below showcase the Mortality Rate and the total number of COVID-19 deaths in Cyprus per district from pandemic beginning (2020) until the end of 2021.
