Virtual Professional Presentation: Louisiana Coronavirus COVID-19 Operations Dashboard (https://ldh.la.gov/Coronavirus/)

Thanks to Geo For All - Louisiana State University for hosting a special presentation of the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) COVID Dashboard.

Mr. Andrew S. Berens, GISP, Population Health & Geospatial Analyst at Louisiana Department of Health

As the nature of the current COVID-19 pandemic became apparent, Mr. Berens began to build a GIS dashboard to track reported cases by parish in Louisiana. Louisiana was among the first states to publish a COVID-19 dashboard. By mid-March 2020 the dashboard went live and was available to the public as a part of the state's goal of transparently providing information to both leadership and the public. Mr. Berens will discuss some of what has gone into creating and maintaining the dashboard that Louisianans rely on from everyday citizens to news outlets around the state. The talk will include time for questions and discussion afterward.

Details to access the meeting by Zoom (https://zoom.us/) will go out to registrants the day of the presentation.
