  The current COVID-19 pandemic has already claimed more than 100,000 victims
and it will cause more deaths in the coming months. Tools that can track the
number and locations of cases are critical for surveillance and can help in
making policy decisions for controlling the outbreak. The current surveillance
web-based dashboards run on proprietary platforms, which are often expensive
and require specific computational knowledge. We present a new tool (OUTBREAK)
for studying and visualizing epidemiological data. It permits even
non-specialist users to input data most conveniently and track outbreaks in
real-time. This tool has the potential to guide and help health authorities to
intervene and minimize the effects of the outbreaks. It is freely available at
http://outbreak.sysbio.tools/.
