Abstract
In December 2019, a novel type of Coronavirus (later named as COVID-19) started from China and after a while rapidly spread to other parts of the world. As of 19 April 2020, more than 2.245 million cases of COVID-19 have been re-ported in 213 countries. Despite of the unique and unknown characteristic of this Virus, it is a very high spread infectious disease. Therefore finding the geographic accuracy of the Virus spread is crucial for the epidemiologists and au-thorities in order to respond to the infection out-break quickly and appropriately.
