The coronavirus that has plagued humanity as of Dec 2019 is now trackable online via this online road map. This is very helpful when it comes to people who want to be aware of the virus and track them in real-time.
The researchers located at Johns Hopkins University are the ones who should take the credit for this map since the plague has started. Not only does it show where the cases are located but also the total confirmed cases, deaths, and recoveries as the reports about the virus come in.
