Case Western Reserve University faculty members Fanny Ye and Ken Loparo have created an online mapping tool called Alpha-Satellite designed to show the risk of community spread of the coronavirus in a given area.
Alongside Dr. Loparo and their research team, Dr. Ye compiled data over the past month and created a complex algorithm to determine and map COVID-19 risk at locations across the country.
Dr. Ye said the goal is to help users who may be going to a grocery store or other essential business decide which location to visit based on the relative risk of getting the virus there.
