Identified as Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), this new virus has recently spread from Wuhan to other regions of China as well as about 24 countries. The virus presented unprecedented challenges, but also provided a rare opportunity for studying it that, if seized, will help us understand future risks. This talk will introduce the available resources for 2019-nCoV studies, which include the daily statistics on the virus cases, inter-region migration data, local health facilities, social media data as well as demographic and business data from the population and economic censuses integrated with the administrative maps. It will discuss how to get access to these data using web technology and GIS tools. It will also introduce the on-going initiative of China Data Lab, a cloud based platform that offers an integrated environment for data and tools for workflow-based virus data analysis. A questions and answers session will follow the online.
