A Korean computer junkie in his 20s has launched a real-time

tracking map

of the coronavirus outbreak on the Korean Peninsula.

The map, developed by Lee Dong-hoon, offers updates on the number of people diagnosed with the deadly virus, those with suspicious symptoms, those in quarantine and those released from quarantine.

The data is collected from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), the developer said.

The dashboard also pinpoints visited locations and travel routes of people diagnosed with coronavirus using a color for each patient.
