An Initial Visual Analysis of the Relationship between COVID-19 and Local Community Features

Abstract

Virus outbreaks are threats to humanity, and coronaviruses are the latest of many epidemics in the last few decades. In this work, we conduct a non-medical/clinical approach, generating graphs from five features concluded from the COVID-19 outbreak data and local community data in NSW (New South Wales), Australia, and offering insights from a visual analysis perspective The results show that household income, population density and ethnicity affect the infection in different areas. Features such as human behaviours need to be imported for further COVID-19 research in the data science sector. This work is an initial step into this area and allows more insights to be brought into future COVID-19 research through a visual analysis perfective.
