How Spread Covid-19 around the World. Coronavirus pandemic: Tracking the global outbreak

Coronavirus pandemic: Tracking the global outbreak.

There are now almost 2.2 million confirmed cases of coronavirus in 185 countries and at least 147,000 people have died.

The United States has more than three times as many confirmed cases as any other country.

This series of maps and charts tracks the spread of the virus since it emerged in China in December last year.


The virus is spreading rapidly in many countries and the death toll is still climbing.



The US has by far the largest number of cases with some 672,000 confirmed infections, according to figures collated by Johns Hopkins University. This is more than eight times the number reported by China.

The US also has the world's highest death toll with more than 33,000 fatalities including more than 11,000 in New York City alone.

Italy - the worst hit European country - has recorded more than 22,000 deaths while the UK, Spain and France have each suffered more than 14,000.

China's official death toll from the outbreak is just over 4,600 from some 83,700 confirmed cases. Numbers for deaths jumped on Friday after what officials called "a statistical review". Critics of the Chinese government have questioned whether the country's official numbers can be trusted.

The outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March. This is when an infectious disease is passing easily from person to person in many parts of the world at the same time.

The WHO said it took more than three months to reach the first 100,000 confirmed cases worldwide, but it took less than a week for the number to double from 500,000 to a million. It then took two weeks to top two million.

The true figure for the number of people with coronavirus is thought to be much higher as many of those with milder symptoms have not been tested and counted.

China has now lifted many of the stringent measures it took to bring the disease under control. Last week, authorities eased travel restrictions in Wuhan, the city where the outbreak began in late 2019.
