Descriptive epidemiological study of coronavirus disease distribution in specific geographic location: Unique public health practice in outbreak analysis
Abstract
Since the emergence of the Coronavirus disease outbreak, the world has witnessed great changes that have impacted humanity. A study of the pattern of the pandemic would be of great importance to understand the trending behavior for the spreading of the disease within any country. Visualization of the outbreak progression - through accumulated records in the datasets - using statistical tools showed that the initial fast increase rate of the affected cases in the original province in China was followed by a stability period till the end of the reporting date. Hong Kong - which was next to Hubei province in the cases – showed a different surge of slow growth curve with distinct major wave levels. The remaining territories showed a much smaller magnitude of morbidities. However, investigating the similarity levels for the daily kinetics of cases showed a clustering tendency between different political regions suggesting a significant correlation. The technique would be useful for public health authorities work.

Spesifik coğrafi konumda coronavirüs hastalığı dağılımı için tanımlayıcı epidemiyolojik çalışma: Salgın analizinde benzersiz halk sağlığı uygulaması
Abstract
Coronavirüs hastalığı salgınının ortaya çıkmasından bu yana dünya, insanlığı etkileyen büyük değişimlere tanık oldu. Salgının paterni üzerine bir araştırma, hastalığın herhangi bir ülkede yayılmasına yönelik eğilimi anlamak için büyük önem taşıyacaktır. Salgın ilerlemesinin veri kümelerinde biriken kayıtlar aracılığıyla istatistiksel araçlar kullanılarak görselleştirilmesi, Çin’deki orijinal eyalette etkilenen vakaların ilk hızlı artış oranının, raporlama tarihinin sonuna kadar bir istikrar dönemi izlediğini gösterdi. Vakalarda Hubei eyaletinin yanında yer alan Hong Kong, farklı ana dalga seviyeleri ile farklı bir yavaş büyüme eğrisi dalgalanması gösterdi. Kalan bölgeler çok daha küçük bir hastalık boyutu gösterdi. Bununla birlikte, vakaların günlük kinetiği için benzerlik düzeylerinin araştırılması, farklı siyasi bölgeler arasında önemli bir korelasyona işaret eden bir kümelenme eğilimi gösterdi. Teknik, halk sağlığı yetkililerinin çalışmaları için faydalı olacaktır
