This challenge discusses the relationship between human activities and the spread of the epidemic (Covid-19), as the more human activities that lead to dealing with people, the more people will become infected with the epidemic. For this application works to help people to know whether they dealt with infected or not so that when a person gets sick with Covid-19 sends to this application the places that he visited and that he had been infected then the application sends a warning to people who were in those places that they had dealt with an infected persone and so on The application reduces infection rates and the spread of the epidemic
The world faces a hard time in the crisis of COVID-19. Most countries have forced people to stay home for more than three months till now and never leave their homes only in an emergency where it affected people psychologically. On the other hand, some countries allowed people to go out but take all the necessary precautions for safety. Human factors challenge targets this issue and that’s what inspired us to choose this challenge where we actually suffer from the quarantine and didn’t leave home for 3 months in our country and it has affected lots of people psychologically, so we had the chance to solve this challenging issue.
There were solutions to this problem that was kind of effective. We reviewed this solution and recognized the default in them and developed it in a new modern full system with high-efficiency compensates for the shortage in the other solutions.
Our project uses the Google Maps app which depends on satellites and space agency data to determine the position of the user in the whole world and help him to get to the desired location he chose safely.
We used Python programming language and HTML markup language in creating the application. We also used Google Maps application as an aid.
In the creation of the application, we faced some challenging problems as that we couldn’t finish the application because of the shortage of time, so we had to make an animated video to express the idea of the application and get over this problem. However, we still work on building the application.
Another problem was working in collaboration online like getting codes that each member wrote together or making the animated video. But we could actually work together by using online meetings.
Our greatest achievement that we are all proud of was getting over these challenging problems together without giving up. Working under pressure in a short time without laziness. It is an unforgettable time with lots of happy memories.

by using the remote sensing data such as Satellite imagery to predict with crowded areas
the idea of satellite was inspired from https://peps.cnes.fr/rocket/
https://iasi.aeris-data.fr/covid-19/
by recognizing the increasing of air pollution by IASI system we will be able to determine the increasing of human activity so we could predict the covid-19 hotspots

the idea of our application based on maps so Canadian Space Agency provides live maps

the updated information of covid-19 will be provided by WHO and this Canadian site

the application will provide these sites to allow the users to keep in touch with the covid-19 information and statistics whether it is local or global
