RIBEIRO, Ana Isabel y SANTOS, Cláudia Jardim. The importance of spatial analysis of COVID-19 pandemic for health geography: challenges and perspectives. Finisterra [online]. 2020, n.115, pp.37-42. Epub 31-Dic-2020. ISSN 0430-5027. https://doi.org/10.18055/finis20318.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought an unparalleled opportunity for spatial analysis. More than ever people are creating maps to document the space-time diffusion of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, despite recent technical and computational improvements, spatial analysis of epidemiological surveillance data is still affected by a number of challenges, especially when dealing with near-real-time data of an emergent disease. This paper summarizes the key challenges for the spatial analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic and possible solutions.
