Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Since its first being reported in December 2019, COVID-19 has spread quickly around the world, and becomes a global pandemic. Previous information sources have a number of problems when providing COVID-19 information web services. First, the information from government or traditional media (i.e., TV and newspaper) is not frequently updated. Second, different layers of the government (state and federal government) may provide contradictory information. Also, there are many rumours spread on social media, which makes it difficult for people to know who and what to trust. Finally, the current information about COVID-19 is fragmented. It takes effort for people to aggregate the information they need to see from different places.
