Covid-19

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus. The disease causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. You can protect yourself by washing your hands frequently, avoiding touching your face, and avoiding close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell.

How it spreads

Coronavirus disease spreads primarily through contact with an infected person when they cough or sneeze. It also spreads when a person touches a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth.

About the data

The data is sourced from Johns Hopkins CSSE.

It changes rapidly

This data changes rapidly, so what’s shown may be out of date. Information about reported cases is also available on the World Health Organization site.

It doesn’t include all cases

Confirmed cases aren’t all cases. They only include people who tested positive. Testing rules and availability vary by country.
