This notebook will walk you through some basic techniques of conducting Interative Mapping and Data Visualization in the CyberGIS-Jupyter environment. We will retrieve the latest COVID-19 data from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) website, examine and preprocess the data, make plots of daily new cases by counties using matplotlib, create an interactive map with ipyleaflet to visualize weekly channge of new cases across the state, and finally link map and plot together. After finishing this notebook, you will have a "app-style" notebook like the screenshot below. You are encouraged to tweak the codes a little bit to visualize other COVID-19 indices, such as deaths and testings.
