Symbolising and interpreting data related to the safety measures of the coronavirus pandemic.

For most people, especially youth, the way our government has been handling communication regarding the pandemic is rather confusing.

Do I need to wear a mask? Keep distance? When? Where? Until the pandemic is over? Until the next pandemic? What’s next?

The following series of images are part of a document describing the pandemic measures, and how unclear the communication has been. The graphics are presented in a chaotic manner, just like the ever-changing pandemic situation. Data is used from a variety of sources, including public government data, city beacon locations, social media and news outlets.
