A feature layer used to store number of COVID-19 cases for Burlington County, NJ. Note: Recovered & Active data is not accurate for cases reported after April 21, 2020. After April 21, 2020, only Confirmed, Deaths and New is accurate. This is due to a change in what the County reported. Recovered cases ceased to be reported as of April 21 which also prevented the calculation of Active cases. In all cases, Tested cases were entered as the same number as confirmed cases because no other data was available.

Dashboard includes COVID-19 cases by county, total cases, total confirmed deaths, and total PCR tests reported as well as cases by municipality. Hospitalization, school, and veterans homes data included.

The counties of Trousdale and Lake – both in Tennessee – had the highest COVID-19 infection rates in the United States as of June 9, 2020. Dakota, Nobles, and Lincoln also ranked among the U.S. counties with the highest number of coronavirus cases per 100,000 people.

Coronavirus hits the East Coast In the United States, the novel coronavirus had infected around 5.4 million people and had caused nearly 170,000 deaths by mid-August 2020. The densely populated states of New York and New Jersey were at the epicenter of the outbreak in the country. New York City, which is composed of five counties, was one of the most severely impacted regions. However, the true level of transmission is likely to be much higher because many people will be asymptomatic or suffer only mild symptoms that are not diagnosed.

All states are in crisis The first coronavirus case in the U.S. was confirmed in the state of Washington in mid-January 2020. At the time, it was unclear how the virus was spreading; we now know that close contact with an infected person and breathing in their respiratory droplets is the primary mode of transmission. It is no surprise that the four states with the most coronavirus cases are those with the highest populations: New York, Texas, Florida, and California. However, Louisiana was the state with the highest COVID-19 infection rate per 100,000 people as of August 24, 2020.

As of March 10, 2023, the state with the highest rate of COVID-19 cases was Rhode Island followed by Alaska. Around 103.9 million cases have been reported across the United States, with the states of California, Texas, and Florida reporting the highest numbers of infections.

From an epidemic to a pandemic The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The term pandemic refers to multiple outbreaks of an infectious illness threatening multiple parts of the world at the same time; when the transmission is this widespread, it can no longer be traced back to the country where it originated. The number of COVID-19 cases worldwide is roughly 683 million, and it has affected almost every country in the world.

The symptoms and those who are most at risk Most people who contract the virus will suffer only mild symptoms, such as a cough, a cold, or a high temperature. However, in more severe cases, the infection can cause breathing difficulties and even pneumonia. Those at higher risk include older persons and people with pre-existing medical conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease. Those aged 85 years and older have accounted for around 27 percent of all COVID deaths in the United States, although this age group makes up just two percent of the total population

Feature layer generated from Join Features to show number of deaths from COVID 19 for Burlington County, NJ.

As of March 10, 2023, the death rate from COVID-19 in the state of New York was 397 per 100,000 people. New York is one of the states with the highest number of COVID-19 cases.

There have been almost 60 thousand COVID-19 deaths in New York State as of December 16, 2022. A majority of those deaths have been recorded in New York City: Staten Island, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Manhattan.

Pandemic takes hold in U.S. Across the United States, over one million COVID-19 deaths had been confirmed by the middle of December 2022. New York has been hit particularly hard throughout the pandemic and is among the states with the highest number of deaths from the coronavirus. The neighboring state of New Jersey was also at the heart of the initial outbreak in March 2020, and the two states continue to have some of the highest death rates from the coronavirus in the United States.

Deaths in New York City The number of new daily deaths from COVID-19 in New York City peaked early in the pandemic. Since then there have been waves in which the number of daily deaths rose, but they have not gotten close to the levels seen early in the pandemic. The impact of the coronavirus has been thoroughly analyzed, and the fatality rates by age in New York City support the evidence that the risk of developing more severe COVID-19 symptoms increases with age.
