Millions around the world are heeding the extraordinary pleas for keeping social distance to combat the coronavirus by avoiding landmarks, resorts and other large gathering places
to combat the coronavirus by avoiding landmarks, resorts and other large gathering places.
That's the unmistakable takeaway from a series of satellite images released Tuesday of highly trafficked locations from New York's Central Park to Milan’s Cathedral and Moscow’s Red Squares.The before and after images captured over the past several weeks, as governments around the world have increasingly implored their citizens to avoid large groups, show very few people at these typically crowded spots at popular times of day.
“Particularly now, people are hungry to know what’s happening. We have a perfect view of one aspect of this crisis," Stephen Wood, a senior director at Earth-imaging company Maxar, told POLITICO. "We feel compelled to get this information out." The Colorado-based Maxar operates four satellites which can collect 3 million square kilometers of high resolution images around the globe every day. The imagery is typically provided to a wide variety of customers and used for a variety of purposes ranging defense and intelligence to urban development and mapping.The recent images are just a snapshot -- and by definition an incomplete one.
