Ease Up or Lock Down? New App Shows COVID-19 Spikes and Trends in Your Community

REDLANDS, Calif.— Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, announced today that it released a new app (https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/covidpulse) to help stakeholders and the public understand how COVID-19 is trending in every state and county in the US. The daily-updated app, which visualizes trend lines for new cases, deaths, as well as cumulative cases, tracks case data compiled by John Hopkins University from January 2020 to the present. At a glance, users can easily see where cases are spiking, declining, or holding steady.

“This app empowers stakeholders and leaders to make scientific, data-driven decisions about what comes next for their community when it comes to COVID-19,” said Dr. Este Geraghty, Chief Medical Officer at Esri. “The ability to explore case data over time and compare one place to another is critical to understanding if communities should begin to reopen schools and businesses, continue with current restrictions, or ramp up mitigation efforts.”
