In episode #7 of the Social Hero, I speak with Dr Lau, the Project Lead of Corona Tracker, on his journey to combat the terrifying COVID-19 outbreak.

Corona Tracker is a community-based project which allows the public to keep track of the latest news development about the COVID-19. The platform is vital for information consolidation, and all gathered information is open to use for the public.

The platform is powered by over 2000 volunteers from across the globe, ranging from data scientists, medical professionals, software developers, to the general public. Everyone is welcomed to contribute through its Telegram channel. It has more than 1 million users across the globe who receive updates on COVID-19 daily. 

Dr Lau holds a PhD in Information Technology from the Queensland University of Technology and is the CEO of LEAD, an education institute focusing primarily on tech courses.
