Datawrapper has created a collection of maps and charts related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that you can edit and embed on your own website.
Where is the GIS Data From That is Used to Create the Coronavirus Maps and Charts?
All data is pulled from the aggregated coronavirus data provided by Johns Hopkins University (JHU) which is updated several times a day and is the data behind the Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins CSSE map. The data is made available via JHU’s Github. Per the Terms of Use, the data, and therefore the maps and charts from Datawrapper that use this data, can only be used by the public for educational and academic research purposes. If you are looking for embeddable maps and charts for a commercial website, you won’t be allowed to use the data from JHU.
