However, in the Northeast and South Florida regions with high population density and more travelers has much more numbers of cases cities, may be helpful for mitigating the disasters caused by the Covid-19 data. For potential hurricane impacts, evacuation and sheltering plan should be made with consideration of social distancing during the pandemic.
