Where in Hong Kong are the COVID-19 cases?
Which of the 18 districts is the most dangerous one for getting infected by COVID-19?
The risk index is a rough indicator built for this purpose. It is calculated as
the number of buildings visited by each confirmed case for each districted divided
by the population of that district. The length of visiting, mode of visiting (
residential address? work place? restaurant?) and whether the patient was wearing a mask
etc are not considered.
It can be seen as the number of cases normalized by the
population and then multiplied by the number of potential sources of infection
they were exposed to, or created. Cases reported in the recent weeks are used to show the recent
situation.
