TwitterCOVID-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.

TwitterAfter 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.

TwitterNotice of data discontinuation: Since the start of the pandemic, AP has reported case and death counts from data provided by Johns Hopkins University. Johns Hopkins University has announced that they will stop their daily data collection efforts after March 10. As Johns Hopkins stops providing data, the AP will also stop collecting daily numbers for COVID cases and deaths. The HHS and CDC now collect and visualize key metrics for the pandemic. AP advises using those resources when reporting on the pandemic going forward.

The AP is using data collected by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering as our source for outbreak caseloads and death counts for the United States and globally.
The Hopkins data is available at the county level in the United States. The AP has paired this data with population figures and county rural/urban designations, and has calculated caseload and death rates per 100,000 people. Be aware that caseloads may reflect the availability of tests -- and the ability to turn around test results quickly -- rather than actual disease spread or true infection rates.
This data is from the Hopkins dashboard that is updated regularly throughout the day. Like all organizations dealing with data, Hopkins is constantly refining and cleaning up their feed, so there may be brief moments where data does not appear correctly. At this link, you’ll find the Hopkins daily data reports, and a clean version of their feed.
The AP is updating this dataset hourly at 45 minutes past the hour.

The COVID-19 Global Time Series Case and Death Data is a comprehensive collection of global COVID-19 case and death information recorded over time. This dataset includes data from various sources such as JHU CSSE COVID-19 Data and The New York Times.
The dataset consists of several columns providing detailed information on different aspects of the COVID-19 situation. The COUNTRY_SHORT_NAME column represents the short name of the country where the data is recorded, while the Data_Source column indicates the source from which the data was obtained.
Other important columns include Cases, which denotes the number of COVID-19 cases reported, and Difference, which indicates the difference in case numbers compared to the previous day. Additionally, there are columns such as CONTINENT_NAME, DATA_SOURCE_NAME, COUNTRY_ALPHA_3_CODE, COUNTRY_ALPHA_2_CODE that provide additional details about countries and continents.
Furthermore, this dataset also includes information on deaths related to COVID-19. The column PEOPLE_DEATH_NEW_COUNT shows the number of new deaths reported on a specific date.
To provide more context to the data, certain columns offer demographic details about locations. For instance, Population_Count provides population counts for different areas. Moreover,**FIPS** code is available for provincial/state regions for identification purposes.
It is important to note that this dataset covers both confirmed cases (Case_Type: confirmed) as well as probable cases (Case_Type: probable). These classifications help differentiate between various types of COVID-19 infections.
Overall, this dataset offers a comprehensive picture of global COVID-19 situations by providing accurate and up-to-date information on cases, deaths, demographic details like population count or FIPS code), source references (such as JHU CSSE or NY Times), geographical information (country names coded with ALPHA codes) , etcetera making it useful for researchers studying patterns and trends associated with this pandemic
Understanding the Dataset Structure:
- The dataset is available in two files: COVID-19 Activity.csv and COVID-19 Cases.csv.
- Both files contain different columns that provide information about the COVID-19 cases and deaths.
- Some important columns to look out for are: a. PEOPLE_POSITIVE_CASES_COUNT: The total number of confirmed positive COVID-19 cases. b. COUNTY_NAME: The name of the county where the data is recorded. c. PROVINCE_STATE_NAME: The name of the province or state where the data is recorded. d. REPORT_DATE: The date when the data was reported. e. CONTINENT_NAME: The name of the continent where the data is recorded. f. DATA_SOURCE_NAME: The name of the data source. g.

TwitterThe 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.

TwitterBrazil is the Latin American country affected the most by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of May 2025, the country had reported around 38 million cases. It was followed by Argentina, with approximately ten million confirmed cases of COVID-19. In total, the region had registered more than 83 million diagnosed patients, as well as a growing number of fatal COVID-19 cases. The research marathon Normally, the development of vaccines takes years of research and testing until options are available to the general public. However, with an alarming and threatening situation as that of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists quickly got on board in a vaccine marathon to develop a safe and effective way to prevent and control the spread of the virus in record time. Over two years after the first cases were reported, the world had around 1,521 drugs and vaccines targeting the COVID-19 disease. As of June 2022, a total of 39 candidates were already launched and countries all over the world had started negotiations and acquisition of the vaccine, along with immunization campaigns. COVID vaccination rates in Latin America As immunization against the spread of the disease continues to progress, regional disparities in vaccination coverage persist. While Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico were among the Latin American nations with the most COVID-19 cases, those that administered the highest number of COVID-19 doses per 100 population are Cuba, Chile, and Peru. Leading the vaccination coverage in the region is the Caribbean nation, with more than 406 COVID-19 vaccines administered per every 100 inhabitants as of January 5, 2024.For further information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.

TwitterCOVID-19 in Russia was centered in the city of Moscow, which accounted for the highest number of cases, measuring at around 3.5 million as of June 4, 2023. It was followed by Saint Petersburg with more than 1.9 million cases. In total, over 22.9 million COVID-19 cases were recorded in Russia as of June 4, 2023.
COVID-19 in Moscow The city of Moscow was Russia’s region with the largest number of conducted COVID-19 tests. Moscow's self-isolation index during the lockdown indicated that most residents stayed home. With entertainment venues, restaurants and bars, and non-food shops closed, the subway traffic in the capital decreased by 85 percent compared to the previous year. Furthermore, car sharing services were suspended in the city due to risks of the COVID-19 contagion. Until the end of 2021, pensioners in Moscow could receive 10 thousand Russian rubles for getting vaccinated.
Self-isolation regime Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Russia announced a non-working period until May 11, 2020. Its regions, or federal subjects, imposed additional quarantine measures to restrict movement of residents and transport during the shutdown. In most regions, the population could go outside only to the nearest grocery store, to walk a dog, or to see a doctor in emergency cases. Moscow authorities introduced digital passes, requiring Russians to register online before leaving home. Another lockdown was held from the end of October to the beginning of November.

TwitterOver the course of 2020, more than 2.1 million coronavirus cases were reported to the authorities in Italy. This statistic breaks down this figure by region and wave of infections. Italy, in fact, underwent three distinct phases in the fight against COVID-19. The first one started in late February, as the first cases in the country were detected. In this first stage, most of the contagion happened in the Northern regions. The Italian government reacted by implementing a strict lockdown that lasted until May, when the contagion curve started to flatten. Between June and September, the number of new cases was risible. The third phase started in October, when a second wave of infection, much bigger in magnitude than the first, struck the country. This time, as it is possible to see from the graph, also Central and Southern regions were heavily affected.
