Mapping covid-19 in the Pacific

From Nine To Noon, 9:35 am on 4 August 2020

While some island nations, which have been spared the pandemic are keen for travel to open up from New Zealand, researchers at the Australian National University have created an interactive map showing where there have been outbreaks.

The map tracks Pacific responses to the coronavirus and aids analysis at what is working and what isn't - and also the risks of a major outbreak in the region, as the virus continues to spread in some parts of the world. It provides a snapshot of local responses, aimed at providing insights for researchers, residents and public servants.

Professor Meg Keen is the director of the Australia Pacific Security College at ANU.
