Being the only one of its kind in Cyprus, the developed Web-GIS platform serves as a historical representation of the spatiotemporal spread of the COVID-19 virus in the territory of the Republic of Cyprus (non-occupied areas). More specifically, it portrays the progression of the virus from March 2020 (first appearance in Cyprus) until the end of 2022 (WHO declared end of the pandemic) in a dashboard that includes:
- A central Map that displays the distribution of confirmed cases (per 100k population) by district dynamically. Considering the frequency and range of the values, the categorization includes five groups (visualized with shades of the red color). As the map is interactive, users can navigate freely in space (or use the predefined “bookmarks”) and time (via the integrated TimeSlider tool). Selecting a specific district polygon reveals additional information.
- Five epidemiological indicators related to the weekly recordings of the: a) confirmed cases by district (per 100k population), b) total confirmed cases, c) confirmed cases (by age group), d) total deaths, and e) total diagnostic tests (PCR and Rapid) in Cyprus.
