The New York Times is releasing a series of data files with cumulative counts of coronavirus cases in the United States, at the state and county level, over time. We are compiling this time series data from state and local governments and health departments in an attempt to provide a complete record of the ongoing outbreak.

Since late January, The Times has tracked cases of coronavirus in real time as they were identified after testing. Because of the widespread shortage of testing, however, the data is necessarily limited in the picture it presents of the outbreak.

We have used this data to power our maps and reporting tracking the outbreak, and it is now being made available to the public in response to requests from researchers, scientists and government officials who would like access to the data to better understand the outbreak.

The data begins with the first reported coronavirus case in Washington State on Jan. 21, 2020. We will publish regular updates to the data in this repository.

COVID-19 has spread to most regions and territories around the world. As of May 2, 2023, the number of confirmed cases had reached roughly 687 million.

COVID-19 in the Americas The Americas is one of the regions most impacted by COVID-19. The number of coronavirus cases and deaths are particularly high in the United States and Brazil. The pandemic has had a devastating impact on Latin America, and several nations have recorded a resurgence in cases, highlighting the complexity of easing restrictions while the virus is still a threat. However, mass vaccination programs have been launched in countries including Argentina, Chile, and Panama.

The role of face masks in the prevention of COVID-19 There has been much discussion about the effectiveness of face masks in slowing the spread of the COVID-19 disease. Many governments around the world made it mandatory to wear a form of face mask, particularly in shops and on public transport. Masks alone will not halt the spread of the disease, and they should be used alongside other measures such as social distancing.

The COVID-19 dashboard includes data on city/town COVID-19 activity, confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19, confirmed and probable deaths related to COVID-19, and the demographic characteristics of cases and deaths.

After entering Italy, the coronavirus (COVID-19) spread fast. The strict lockdown implemented by the government during the Spring 2020 helped to slow down the outbreak. However, the country had to face four new harsh waves of contagion. As of January 1, 2025, the total number of cases reported by the authorities reached over 26.9 million. The north of the country was mostly hit, and the region with the highest number of cases was Lombardy, which registered almost 4.4 million of them. The north-eastern region of Veneto and the southern region of Campania followed in the list. When adjusting these figures for the population size of each region, however, the picture changed, with the region of Veneto being the area where the virus had the highest relative incidence. Coronavirus in Italy Italy has been among the countries most impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. Moreover, the number of deaths due to coronavirus recorded in Italy is significantly high, making it one of the countries with the highest fatality rates worldwide, especially in the first stages of the pandemic. In particular, a very high mortality rate was recorded among patients aged 80 years or older. Impact on the economy The lockdown imposed during the Spring 2020, and other measures taken in the following months to contain the pandemic, forced many businesses to shut their doors and caused industrial production to slow down significantly. As a result, consumption fell, with the sectors most severely hit being hospitality and tourism, air transport, and automotive. Several predictions about the evolution of the global economy were published at the beginning of the pandemic, based on different scenarios about the development of the pandemic. According to the official results, it appeared that the coronavirus outbreak had caused Italy’s GDP to shrink by approximately nine percent in 2020.

Italy experienced a sharp rise in the number of positive infections shortly after confirming its 100th coronavirus case. In the space of just 17 days, the number of cases in Italy had soared to more than 12,000. In comparison, the spread of the virus was much slower in Japan.

The COVID-19 outbreak in Italy Italy was the first European nation to be severely impacted by COVID-19. There had been approximately 35,400 coronavirus-related deaths recorded in the country as of August 17, 2020. Following a two-month lockdown period, restrictions in Italy were eased in early May, and citizens are now permitted to travel between regions and abroad. However, the risk of a resurgence remains, and the country’s state of emergency has been extended until October 15, 2020. It is looking increasingly likely that restrictions will not be completely lifted until a vaccine for the disease is discovered.

Pfizer confident of vaccine success Pfizer and BioNTech are jointly developing one candidate vaccine that is under clinical evaluation. In July 2020, the two companies announced an agreement with the U.S. government that will bring millions of doses to the American people. The BNT162 mRNA-based vaccine is currently being produced even though it has not received regulatory approval from the FDA. This is a risky approach and is one that could cost the companies millions of dollars should the vaccine be rejected. However, if regulatory approval is received, the safe and effective vaccine can be shipped quickly.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in France, the level of concern towards the virus fluctuated a lot. While less than half of French people were not worried about the spread of the virus in January 2020, the share of worried people reached a peak (85 percent of respondents) during march 2020. Overall, there was a resurgence of concern about the COVID-19 virus with each announcement of a new lockdown by the French government.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19)

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illnesses ranging from a common cold to more severe conditions such as MERS or SARS. One of those viruses that have recently been identified is named COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2. It was first detected in December 2019 in the Chinese city of Wuhan. According to the investigation of the Chinese authorities, people infected with the virus would have contracted it by consuming products (some of which are sold illegally) of animal origin from a large city market, the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market (since closed). The transmission of this virus is likely to occur through the respiratory tract (exhalation, sneezing, coughing) and physical contact. The symptoms are similar to those of classic flu: fever, cough, breathing difficulties, muscle pain, and fatigue.

The pandemic situation in France

Although the data is changing daily, 5.7 million people infected by the COVID-19 virus have been identified in France since the beginning of the pandemic. Among them, more than 100,000 succumbed to this disease. As in many other countries, the French government is counting on its vaccination campaign to stop the epidemic.

2.1. Participants and procedure

The participants were patients with DM from nine primary health care areas corresponding to four Cuban provinces belonging to different regions of the country (Pinar del Río, Havana, Ciego de Ávila and Santiago de Cuba), selected by means of non-probabilistic sampling. The inclusion criteria included: 1) having type 2 diabetes mellitus according to the criteria of the World Health Organization 2) being ≥18 years of age 3) being attended in the previously mentioned health areas where their clinical histories were located and 4) being willing to participate in the research study and answer the survey after signing the informed consent form. Patients with severe mental illness or cognitive deficits (dementia, psychosis or mental disabilities) or any other apparent condition that compromised their ability to understand and complete the questionnaire were not included in the study. The sample size was calculated with the Soper software [29], which indicated a number of 200 participants. For this we considered the number of observed variables (6 items), latent variables of the model to be evaluated (concern for COVID-19 contagion), the anticipated effect size (λ = 0.3), the probability (α = 0.05) and the statistical power (1 - β = 0.95).

Finally, 219 people with type 2 DM were surveyed. The application of the survey was carried out between the months of January and April 2021, while the patients attended consultation or in their own homes by the researchers trained for the task and complying with strict COVID-19 prevention protocols. The Cuban panorama in the fight against COVID-19 during the period of data collection was not favorable, as the country was in a phase of resurgence characterized by high numbers of people infected with the virus, much higher compared to the diagnoses at a similar point during the first stage of the disease, in 2020. Although government health measures were strengthened to contain the pandemic, the population's perception of risk was on the rise. During those dates, more than 64,414 positive diagnoses and 384 deaths were reported. Participation in the study was voluntary and no financial compensation was provided. All participants signed informed consent and were allowed to withdraw at any time from the study without having to justify their decision. In addition, the data were guaranteed to be confidential and anonymous. The study received approval from the ethics committee of the Universidad Privada del Norte in Peru (registration number: 20213002).

The majority of the participants were women (66.2%) with a mean age of 58.5 years old (SD = 18.2). Thirty-two point nine percent had higher education. Of the total participants, 37.9% were retired and 32% were state workers; while 43.4 had more than 10 years with the disease. The majority (68.9%) had no associated chronic complications and were receiving treatment for diabetes (98.2%). More details of the sociodemographic variables can be seen in Table 1.

2.2. Instruments Scale of Worry for Contagion of COVID-19 (PRE-COVID-19). The scale is comprised of 6 items that assess concern about becoming infected with COVID-19 and its impact on people's daily functioning, specifically on their mood and their ability to perform their daily activities. Each item presented 4 Likert-type response options (from 1 = never or rarely to 4 = almost all the time), with higher scores indicating greater concern about COVID-19 infection.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-2 (GAD-2) [30]. The GAD-2 consists of 2 items that measure an emotional (feeling nervous) and cognitive (worry) symptom of generalized anxiety in the past 2 weeks. The 2 items have 4 response options using a Likert-type scale (from 0 = not at all to 3 = almost every day), where a higher score indicates a higher level of generalized anxiety.

2.3. Data analysis Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed using the Diagonally Weighted Least Squares with Mean and Variance corrected (WLSMV) estimator since the items are ordinal in nature. The chi-square test (χ2), the RMSEA index and the SRMR index were used to evaluate the model fit. In the case of the latter two indices, values less than 0.05 indicate good fit, and between 0.05 and 0.08 is considered acceptable. In addition, the CFI and TLI indices were used, where values greater than 0.95 indicate good fit and greater than 0.90 an acceptable fit. To assess validity based on the relationship with other constructs, structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to assess the latent relationship between concern for being infected with COVID-19 and anxiety. The above fit indices, and their respective cutoff points, were used to assess the adequacy of the model. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the omega coefficient were used to assess the internal consistency of the scale, where a value greater than 0.70 is adequate.

As for the use of Item Response Theory (IRT), a Graded Response Model (GRM) [35] was employed, specifically an extension of the 2-parameter logistic model (2-PLM) for ordered polytomous items. For each item, two types of parameters were estimated: discrimination (a) and difficulty (b). The a parameter determines the slope at which item responses change as a function of the level in the latent trait and the b parameters determine how much of the latent trait the item requires to be answered in a given way. Since the scale has four response categories, there are three estimates of difficulty, one per threshold. The estimates for these three thresholds indicate the level of the latent variable at which an individual has a 50% chance of scoring at or above a particular response category. Item information curves (IIC) and the test information curve (TIC) were also calculated.

All statistical analyses were performed using the "lavaan" package for the CFA and the "ltm" package for the GRM. In all cases, the RStudio environment was used for R.
