Abstract

The world faces a pandemic caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, an infectious disease that has already infected 237 million people worldwide, killing nearly 4.8 million patients in October 2021. Variants of the new coronavirus have been detected in different places around the world, being an aggravating factor for the pandemics and the effectiveness of vaccines. Considering the high relevance of the subject today, notifications systems that take into account cases of COVID-19 are being developed to dis- seminate information to the population. This paper aims at developing a web application called SisCoV-BR. This system numerically presents all the registe- red cases of infection by a coronavirus in Brazil using an interactive map. This map displays an alert that warns users about regions affected by new coronavi- rus variants.
