COVID-19 UK Tracker: Interactive Graphical User Interface

This project is a graphical user interface (GUI) developed using Tkinter, a Python library, to display COVID-19 cases in the UK. It provides a user-friendly interface for users to visualize and track the spread of the virus across different regions in the UK.

Features

• Real-time data: The GUI fetches the latest COVID-19 data using an API from reliable sources and displays it in a visually appealing manner.
• Interactive Graphs and Plots: All visualizations are interactive, allowing users to zoom in, pan, and hover over data points for detailed information. The graphs and plots are created using Plotly, providing a rich set of functionalities.
• Date selection: Users can select specific dates using a pop-up calendar widget, enabling them to analyze COVID-19 cases for a particular time period.
• Comparison of places: The GUI allows users to compare COVID-19 cases between different places or areas. Users can select the places of interest from a dropdown menu, providing a convenient way to focus on specific locations.
