COVID19-world: a shiny application to perform comprehensive country-specific data visualization for SARS-CoV-2 epidemic

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Background: Data analysis and visualization is an essential tool for exploring and communicating findings in
medical research, especially in epidemiological surveillance.
Results: Data on COVID-19 diagnosed cases and mortality, from January 1st, 2020, onwards is collected automatically
from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). We have developed a Shiny application for data
visualization and analysis of several indicators to follow the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic using ECDC data. A country-specific
tool for basic epidemiological surveillance, in an interactive and user-friendly manner. The available analyses cover time
trends and projections, attack rate, population fatality rate, case fatality rate, and basic reproduction number.
Conclusions: The COVID19-World online web application systematically produces daily updated country-specific data
visualization and analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic worldwide. The application may help for a better understanding
of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic worldwide.
