“…Recent studies offer relevant innovations to the literature. For example, the consideration of vaccination [14,35], the use of chorematic maps [36], the detection of emerging contagion clusters [3], the detection of mass mobility patterns carrying passengers during the pandemic [37] and analyzing the effectiveness of existing WebGISs [38].…”

“…Geovisualization has proven to be a valuable and efficient tool for understanding, monitoring, and controlling the spread of COVID-19 in several countries [1,2]. Web Geographic Information Systems (WebGIS) provide mostly simple information such as the location of cases, death counts, and number of vaccinations [3]. Many existing WebGISs are not functional for all countries, especially in developing countries [4].…”

Web Geographic Information Systems (WebGISs) were widely used to monitor COVID-19 cases and deaths during the pandemic. Furthermore, geotechnologies were also very useful in education, public management, tourism, and other areas. Although there are WebGISs with a high level of sophistication, most are simple, consisting of geovisualizers of cases, deaths, and vaccinations. This study develops a WebGIS that offers information about age, comorbidities, and tests, which can be analyzed from specific points such as hospitals, main access roads, regions, or neighborhoods. Although it is not a highly sophisticated solution, the WebGIS developed in this study is especially useful for municipal governments in developing countries like Brazil that do not have patient health data in geographic databases. The WebGIS developed in this study offers public managers essential information for developing effective public policies to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and other epidemiological phenomena such as dengue and malaria.
