<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">It is definitely useful, and many teams are doing it right now in a few countries. The COVID-19 crisis has taken the demand and use of geospatial data to an unprecedented level
in epidemiology, the management of health emergencies and governance. In fact, there is no choice, it is a matter of life and death. However, it is key that research is carried out by professionals, in a collaborative and multidisciplinary way. It must also
be linked decision-making by the government and partners. <o:p></o:p></p>

that are most vulnerable to pandemics especially when included with other data like population density, housing types, proximity to health facilities, sanitation, demographics etc. A lot of it is common sense but mapping it in a GIS environment with multicriteria
assessment can give alot of insight into spatial vulnerability. The difficulty is usually in collating the discrete datasets because they are often held by different organisations but it certainly isn't futile. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
