Finding accurate and up-to-date information about the spread of the coronavirus is essential for researchers and scientists, so IBM and its subsidiary The Weather Channel have released new tools to do just that. While there are already a number of tools available online from the WHO and John Hopkins University to track the coronavirus, fake coronavirus maps created by cybercriminals infecting user systems with malware have also emerged. The new initiative from IBM and The Weather Channel combines data from legitimate sources in addition to data reported at the state and county levels in the United States. All of this information is collected on an incident map that displays color-coded case data for states and counties. These new tools will also bring Covid-19 mapping and analysis to more users by viewing this information from The Weather Channel app and on its website.

In addition to bringing information about Covid-19 to The Weather Channel, IBM has also launched a deeper analytics reporting dashboard that provides views of reported cases around the world, as well as the rate of spread using available data and county-by-county statistics. and more. The company's new dashboard works with its Watson and Cognos Analytics tools and is intended for use by researchers, government officials and the general public. IBM also provides research resources and practical advice for Covid-19 patients and the general public. This will help keep people informed about the spread of the virus and the steps they can take to prevent themselves and others from becoming infected. By launching a new dashboard and including coronavirus information directly in The Weather Channel app, IBM is ensuring that researchers, scientists and the general public can stay informed without exposing themselves to potential security threats online.- Also check out our full list of the best VPN services
