Our project address' this challenge by identifying the patterns between population density and COVID 19 cases as well as developing on ideas that may be able to predict hotspots in local communities where the disease could be more likely to spread. As well as this we will also address the issues with current PPE and other modification which could be made, as well as ways that these products can be sold or distributed for use.
Our team was inspired by local communities pulling together in such difficult time in order to support each other. One example is a small naval community in Cornwall called Torpoint. This town rallied together in order to support vulnerable neighbors and those who have been self-isolating by delivering shopping and other essentials people may need to get through this difficult time. If in turn we could develop a way to identify the transmission hotspots we may also be able to suggest possible steps to take and personal protective equipment developments which can aid this generosity and reduce the transmission rate of the virus.
