Interactive Web Maps: Goa Covid-19 Status as on 25/05/2021

Every once in a while we deal with data in the tabular form. Long tables of data are boring, especially when the data in question has some spatial attributes to it. So when I noticed the government website disseminating covid related information using a table it got me thinking, can this be done better? can we tell the covid story more efficiently so that anybody can understand the situation? and so I thought of making an interactive webmap of the covid-19 status in Goa as on 25/5/2021. Not only was I successful in creating one but it was all done using free to use open source tools including QGIS, WebMap plugin, and Git. 

Goa Covid information is available on the government portal at https://www.goa.gov.in/covid-19/

The boring form of spatial data presentation




    A better way of presenting Spatial Data.

Check out the interactive webmap below.  You can play around with the point and polygon features to access additional details such as the number of reported active cases, taluka name, place name etc. 




So what do you think? .... webmaps V/s Tables.
