Company Takes Care of Employees during COVID-19

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 early this year, Esri China (Hong Kong) has been taking a number of measures to protect the safety, health and job security of its employees. The company has rich experience in mapping out the distribution pattern of contagious diseases like SARS dated back to 2003. When the government was seeking a more effective communication channel to communicate the latest COVID-19 situation with the public, a group of IT volunteers from Smart City Consortium including Esri China (Hong Kong) worked with the government to build the Interactive Map Dashboard, which provides an overview of the latest key figures, statistics, graphs and confirmed case locations on a map at a glance.
