Correction is envisioned for stochastic dependence between the survey's response rate and spatial COVID-19 incidence, commonly known as preferential sampling, but not found significant. Results show that an online survey can provide valuable auxiliary data to optimise spatial COVID-19 incidence estimation based on confirmed cases in situations with limited testing capacity. Furthermore, it is shown that an online survey on COVID-19 symptoms with a sufficiently large sample size per spatial entity is capable of pinpointing the same locations that appear as test-confirmed clusters, approximately one week earlier. We conclude that a large-scale online study provides an inexpensive and flexible method to collect timely information of an epidemic during its early phase, which can be used by policy makers in an early phase of an epidemic and in conjunction with other monitoring systems.
