This toolbox includes codes and an example to compute and visualize spatial tessellation of infectious disease spread for epidemic decision support. Infectious diseases have severe impacts on both economy and public health in the US and the world. Due to the heterogeneity of disease spread, there are spatial variations in the demand for medical resources such as PPE, testing kits, and vaccines. Thus, how to effectively estimate the location and coverage of resource centers based on spatial analysis of heterogeneous infection distribution is paramount.
