Abstract

In mid of December 2019, Wuhan sea food, China a new mysterious illness was reported lately called Coronavirus
(COVID-19, The virus triggered a severe respiratory disease, rapidly speeded to many other states of China and
around the world. COVID-19 is a new strain that had not been previously identified in humans. Hundreds of
millions of people have been placed in some form of isolation. Governments announcing country wide lockdown
while declaring the emergency to fight the sharp rise in coronavirus infection. The epidemic’s consequences are
devastating, currently around the globe more than three million confirm cases reported. Unfortunately, we are still
counting the days, the cases and, most sadly of all, the deadly virus has taken more than three hundred thousand
lives. The Wealth Health Organization (WHO) officially has called Covid-19 a Pandemic. The previous viruses
SARS-CoV, Avian Influenza, MERS-CoV and the Ebola, emerged the geographic information system , remote
sensing applications , mapping and tracking techniques and social media platforms were provided an indispensable
support for appropriate, accurate and timely response in the epidemic outbreak. The aim of the research is to critical
review the development of geospatial dashboards which are using in real time monitoring and providing decision
support in terms of visualization and integration of mapping in Covid-19 pandemic. This paper presents a
comparison of Covid-19 geospatial dashboards and key technologies and applications use to fight with deadly virus.
