The digital mapping company with headquarters in Dublin, as well as an office in Hollywood, has collated data from a number of official sources, including the Public Health Agency, Public Health England, The Living Atlas and other sources to create the hub.

The freely available online hub visualises statistical data related to the outbreak of coronavirus across Northern Ireland, including the total number of confirmed cases and tests, as well as an age and sex breakdown of the confirmed cases.

It also provides best practice and guidelines from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on how to identify symptoms, protect yourself and others, and what to do when you are sick or are showing slight symptoms.
