Geographers use maps to learn about distribution and pattern of any kind of space-and-time phenomenon. The spread of COVID-19 showcases how maps are used to visualize the pandemic in different parts of the world. In everyday news, you might have seen some of them and what about those you don’t? Have you wondered where do they come from? How do we make use of them? What is the role of maps in this pandemic? The talk is going to tell the story about maps and the importance of maps to help us understand the pandemic.
