COVID-19 Information

(a) Infection number. (b) Infection rate.
(c) Number of people cured. (d) Number of people dead.
Figure 1: The provincial level summary of COVID-19 by March 10, 2020 in China using bar charts. There are 30 individuals in total, consisting of 26 provinces and four municipalities. All corresponding numbers are marked at the end of the bars. We do not include imported cases in our data.

Migration Information

(a) Migration traces involving the top 10 provinces with the greatest cumulative migration index from the epicenter Hubei Province.
(b) Recursive migration traces involving the top 3 provinces with the greatest cumulative migration index from the departure provinces.
Figure 2: Migration traces derived from the migration data. Daily migration index from January 1 to January 27 is added to obtain the cumulative index. And we use heatmap to indicate the number of infected people by January 27. For (b), the first place of departure is Hubei, which points to the 3 destinations: Guangdong, Henan and Hunan. These 3 destinations are treated as the new places of departure and new destinations are added. We repeat this process until there is no new destination appears.
(a) Migration traces involving the top 10 provinces with the greatest cumulative migration index from the epicenter, Hubei Province.
((b) Recursive migration traces involving the top 3 provinces with the greatest cumulative migration index from the departure province.
Figure 3: Migration traces derived from the migration data. Daily migration index from January 1 to January 27 is added to obtain the cumulative index. And we use heatmap to indicate the posterior incubation seed $E(0)$. For (b), how we get the places of departure and the destinations is the same as Figure 2.
