Understanding spatial coverage is crucial for several reasons:
Identifying Disease Hotspots: It helps in pinpointing areas with high incidence or prevalence of diseases, known as hotspots. Resource Allocation: Effective resource allocation can be achieved by targeting areas that require immediate attention. Policy Formulation: It aids in the formulation of health policies and interventions tailored to the needs of specific regions. Understanding Transmission Dynamics: It provides insights into how diseases spread within and between communities.
