Since launching a statewide COVID-19 web map and dashboard, the Western Illinois University GIS Center, in cooperation with the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Geographic Information Sciences (EAGIS) and the Illinois GIS Association (ILGISA), have seen an average of 20,000 visits a day on the site as individuals seek comprehensive, and easy to follow, information regarding the spread of the virus. WRMJ News Director Jim Taylor spoke with WIU GIS Center Director and ILGISA President Chad Sperry Tuesday morning. The map and dashboard can be found at wiu.edu/illinoiscovidmap and contains data from bordering states.
