Environmental influencing factors of COVID-19 based on geographic information system techniques: a review
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
The global outbreak of COVID-19 has witnessed a significant and widespread impact since its emergence in 2019. It caused serious negative effects on both population health and economy widely. Numerous researches have been done on the COVID-19 pandemic. There were many articles focused on respective environmental influencing factors of COVID-19. In this research, we reviewed the research examining the environmental factors influencing COVID-19 based on geographic information system technology. We found that five influencing aspects, namely the natural environment, air pollution, society, economy, and government management had significant impact on the transmission of coronavirus. These influencing factors affected the COVID-19 by affecting the virus, the infection opportunity, and the susceptible populations. As these researches indicated the connection between COVID-19 and environmental influencing factors, scientific communities and government should abstract the essences to make valuable decisions in the future.
