COVID-19 Inequality: A Focus on Brazil Coronavirus Maps

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on Brazil, with the country approaching one million confirmed cases and expected to surpass the US in terms of cases and deaths by the end of July. A local geospatial community in São Paulo is using data visualization to spread awareness and inform public policy, while a Brazilian company Mapfry is developing a geomarketing solution to aid in economic recovery. Researchers are also working on estimating hospital bed demand, mapping propagation risk, and protecting indigenous populations, highlighting the need for continued support and action to combat the pandemic in these vulnerable groups.
