Abstract: The emergence and outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID19) have posed great challenges to our society,economy,and public health,which has already become a serious public health and socialproblem. As a new infectious disease, early detection and timely effective measures are important to control the spread of the virus. Geographic information systems (GIS) plays an important role in the distribution, control, prevention and early warning of infectious diseases. As the development of GIS technology, mobile GIS has further improved the scientific decision-making and on-the-spot disposal ability of infectious disease prevention and control in China. This paper focuses on the application of mobile GIS in the prevention and control of infectious disease.

Key words: mobile GIS, prevention and control of infectious diseases, COVID19, GPS, smartphone
