The secondary data was collected from the minutes of World Health Organization (WHO), minutes of (Epidemiology Unit) Sri Lankan, Department of health, Newspapers and Internet sources. The data were analyzed using ArcGIS 10.3 for visualizing the spatial pattern of the Covid-19. Moreover, this research is designed so that Covid-19 could be completely eradicated from the country by creating awareness among people by graphically explaining the spread of this disease in various part of the Island by analyzing the data using GIS Technologies.en_US
