US Map for COVID-19 in WordPress

If you’re using this plugin to build a map to report on the number of cases of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), following up on the latest article showing how you could create a map of the world using real-time data from external sources, in this example I’ll provide some custom code to build a US specific heat map.

We use data made available by NovelCovid API.


Most of the technical details are described in the previous post. We’ll jump straight to the important details. If you’re using the plugin, you can download the export file for the map above.

This map is just an example, you can do this to any country or even county maps if you have the data available. You can also add the data manually instead of reading from the external source.

If you have any question about this, leave a comment below or contact me.
