The COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread use of public data for spatial analysis, with various providers offering datasets on human mobility metrics, case numbers, and other relevant information. To use these datasets, researchers can explore the Data Observatory, a platform providing access to publicly available datasets, and set up their preferred tool, such as CARTOframes, which offers features like data discovery, filtering, and visualization. By processing the data, aggregating it to reduce noise, and enriching it with additional information, researchers can gain insights into spatial patterns, demographics, and socioeconomic factors influencing COVID-19-related trends. The analysis can be further advanced by exploring other datasets available in the Data Observatory, watching webinars or requesting demos from experts, and continuing learning through the platform's Help Center.
