Abstract:The COVID-19 pandemic in Ecuador significantly affected the city of Guayaquil. The rapid spread of the coronavirus and limited processing of COVID-19 tests made it difficult to collect data and report of spreading in Ecuador. This study presents a crowdsourcing initiative to complement data collection efforts that inform the progress of contagion in Ecuador. We used a digital form to record the symptoms associated with COVID-19 and positive cases of SARS-CoV-2. The location of the participants led to creating a dynamic public access map viewer. Due to the incidence of cases, we developed a dashboard to observe in real-time the sectors most vulnerable to contagion. In total, there were 1,450 participants. The areas with the highest prevalence of symptoms associated with COVID-19 symptoms were La Aurora and La Puntilla | ||
