Based on a comparison of coronavirus deaths in 210 countries relative to their population, Peru had the most losses to COVID-19 up until July 13, 2022. As of the same date, the virus had infected over 557.8 million people worldwide, and the number of deaths had totaled more than 6.3 million. Note, however, that COVID-19 test rates can vary per country. Additionally, big differences show up between countries when combining the number of deaths against confirmed COVID-19 cases. The source seemingly does not differentiate between "the Wuhan strain" (2019-nCOV) of COVID-19, "the Kent mutation" (B.1.1.7) that appeared in the UK in late 2020, the 2021 Delta variant (B.1.617.2) from India or the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) from South Africa.
The difficulties of death figures
This table aims to provide a complete picture on the topic, but it very much relies on data that has become more difficult to compare. As the coronavirus pandemic developed across the world, countries already used different methods to count fatalities, and they sometimes changed them during the course of the pandemic. On April 16, for example, the Chinese city of Wuhan added a 50 percent increase in their death figures to account for community deaths. These deaths occurred outside of hospitals and went unaccounted for so far. The state of New York did something similar two days before, revising their figures with 3,700 new deaths as they started to include “assumed” coronavirus victims. The United Kingdom started counting deaths in care homes and private households on April 29, adjusting their number with about 5,000 new deaths (which were corrected lowered again by the same amount on August 18). This makes an already difficult comparison even more difficult. Belgium, for example, counts suspected coronavirus deaths in their figures, whereas other countries have not done that (yet). This means two things. First, it could have a big impact on both current as well as future figures. On April 16 already, UK health experts stated that if their numbers were corrected for community deaths like in Wuhan, the UK number would change from 205 to “above 300”. This is exactly what happened two weeks later. Second, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly which countries already have “revised” numbers (like Belgium, Wuhan or New York) and which ones do not. One work-around could be to look at (freely accessible) timelines that track the reported daily increase of deaths in certain countries. Several of these are available on our platform, such as for Belgium, Italy and Sweden. A sudden large increase might be an indicator that the domestic sources changed their methodology.
Where are these numbers coming from?
The numbers shown here were collected by Johns Hopkins University, a source that manually checks the data with domestic health authorities. For the majority of countries, this is from national authorities. In some cases, like China, the United States, Canada or Australia, city reports or other various state authorities were consulted. In this statistic, these separately reported numbers were put together. For more information or other freely accessible content, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.

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 the first reported coronavirus case in Washington State on Jan. 21, 2020, 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.
This dataset is daily time series data of all the COVID 19 confirmed, recovered and death cases across different nations in the world. It consists of columns:
Date <- From 22/01/2020 to the current date Country/Region <- Countries affected by Covid-19 Province/State <- Specific states in the Country Lat <- Latitude of the Country Long <- Longitude of the Country Confirmed <- Total Number of Confirmed Cases per day Recovered <- Total Number of Recovery Cases per day Deaths <- Total Number of Death Cases per day

The dataset contains a weekly situation update on COVID-19, the epidemiological curve and the global geographical distribution (EU/EEA and the UK, worldwide).
Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, ECDC’s Epidemic Intelligence team has collected the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths, based on reports from health authorities worldwide. This comprehensive and systematic process was carried out on a daily basis until 14/12/2020. See the discontinued daily dataset: COVID-19 Coronavirus data - daily. ECDC’s decision to discontinue daily data collection is based on the fact that the daily number of cases reported or published by countries is frequently subject to retrospective corrections, delays in reporting and/or clustered reporting of data for several days. Therefore, the daily number of cases may not reflect the true number of cases at EU/EEA level at a given day of reporting. Consequently, day to day variations in the number of cases does not constitute a valid basis for policy decisions.
ECDC continues to monitor the situation. Every week between Monday and Wednesday, a team of epidemiologists screen up to 500 relevant sources to collect the latest figures for publication on Thursday. The data screening is followed by ECDC’s standard epidemic intelligence process for which every single data entry is validated and documented in an ECDC database. An extract of this database, complete with up-to-date figures and data visualisations, is then shared on the ECDC website, ensuring a maximum level of transparency.
ECDC receives regular updates from EU/EEA countries through the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS), The European Surveillance System (TESSy), the World Health Organization (WHO) and email exchanges with other international stakeholders. This information is complemented by screening up to 500 sources every day to collect COVID-19 figures from 196 countries. This includes websites of ministries of health (43% of the total number of sources), websites of public health institutes (9%), websites from other national authorities (ministries of social services and welfare, governments, prime minister cabinets, cabinets of ministries, websites on health statistics and official response teams) (6%), WHO websites and WHO situation reports (2%), and official dashboards and interactive maps from national and international institutions (10%). In addition, ECDC screens social media accounts maintained by national authorities on for example Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Telegram accounts run by ministries of health (28%) and other official sources (e.g. official media outlets) (2%). Several media and social media sources are screened to gather additional information which can be validated with the official sources previously mentioned. Only cases and deaths reported by the national and regional competent authorities from the countries and territories listed are aggregated in our database.
Disclaimer: National updates are published at different times and in different time zones. This, and the time ECDC needs to process these data, might lead to discrepancies between the national numbers and the numbers published by ECDC. Users are advised to use all data with caution and awareness of their limitations. Data are subject to retrospective corrections; corrected datasets are released as soon as processing of updated national data has been completed.

COVID-19 caused significant disruption to the global education system. A thorough analysis of recorded learning loss evidence documented since the beginning of the school closures between March 2020 and March 2022 finds even evidence of learning loss. Most studies observed increases in inequality where certain demographics of students experienced more significant learning losses than others. But there are also outliers, countries that managed to limit the amount of loss. This review consolidates all the available evidence and documents the empirical findings. Data for 41 countries is included, together with other variables related to the pandemic experience. This data is publicly available and will be updated regularly.
The data covers 41 countries.

Notice 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.

Johns Hopkins timeseries data - Johns Hopkins pulls data regularly to update their dashboard. Once a day, around 8pm EDT, Johns Hopkins adds the counts for all areas they cover to the timeseries file. These counts are snapshots of the latest cumulative counts provided by the source on that day. This can lead to inconsistencies if a source updates their historical data for accuracy, either increasing or decreasing the latest cumulative count. - Johns Hopkins periodically edits their historical timeseries data for accuracy. They provide a file documenting all errors in their timeseries files that they have identified and fixed here

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) time series that lists confirmed cases, reported deaths, and reported recoveries. Data is broken down by country (and sometimes by sub-region).
Coronavirus disease (COVID19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV2) and has had an effect worldwide. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a pandemic, currently indicating more than 118,000 cases of coronavirus disease in more than 110 countries and territories around the world.
This dataset contains the latest news related to Covid-19 and it was fetched with the help of Newsdata.io news API.
In 2020, global gross domestic product declined by 6.7 percent as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak. In Latin America, overall GDP loss amounted to 8.5 percent.
Data was collected from Jan/24/2019 till Dec/20/2021
The dataset has 8 columns which are: (Id, Country, Cases, Deaths, Recovered, Active, Critical, Population)
Id: Identifier of a country Country: Name of the country Cases: Number of cases Deaths: Number of deaths Recovered: Number of recovered cases Active: Number of active cases Critical: Number of critical cases Population: The population of the country

This data release includes two Wikipedia datasets related to the readership of the project as it relates to the early COVID-19 pandemic period. The first dataset is COVID-19 article page views by country, the second dataset is one hop navigation where one of the two pages are COVID-19 related. The data covers roughly the first six months of the pandemic, more specifically from January 1st 2020 to June 30th 2020. For more background on the pandemic in those months, see English Wikipedia's Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic.Wikipedia articles are considered COVID-19 related according the methodology described here, the list of COVID-19 articles used for the released datasets is available in covid_articles.tsv. For simplicity and transparency, the same list of articles from 20 April 2020 was used for the entire dataset though in practice new COVID-19-relevant articles were constantly being created as the pandemic evolved.Privacy considerationsWhile this data is considered valuable for the insight that it can provide about information-seeking behaviors around the pandemic in its early months across diverse geographies, care must be taken to not inadvertently reveal information about the behavior of individual Wikipedia readers. We put in place a number of filters to release as much data as we can while minimizing the risk to readers.The Wikimedia foundation started to release most viewed articles by country from Jan 2021. At the beginning of the COVID-19 an exemption was made to store reader data about the pandemic with additional privacy protections:- exclude the page views from users engaged in an edit session- exclude reader data from specific countries (with a few exceptions)- the aggregated statistics are based on 50% of reader sessions that involve a pageview to a COVID-19-related article (see covid_pages.tsv). As a control, a 1% random sample of reader sessions that have no pageviews to COVID-19-related articles was kept. In aggregate, we make sure this 1% non-COVID-19 sample and 50% COVID-19 sample represents less than 10% of pageviews for a country for that day. The randomization and filters occurs on a daily cadence with all timestamps in UTC.- exclude power users - i.e. userhashes with greater than 500 pageviews in a day. This doubles as another form of likely bot removal, protects very heavy users of the project, and also in theory would help reduce the chance of a single user heavily skewing the data.- exclude readership from users of the iOS and Android Wikipedia apps. In effect, the view counts in this dataset represent comparable trends rather than the total amount of traffic from a given country. For more background on readership data per country data, and the COVID-19 privacy protections in particular, see this phabricator.To further minimize privacy risks, a k-anonymity threshold of 100 was applied to the aggregated counts. For example, a page needs to be viewed at least 100 times in a given country and week in order to be included in the dataset. In addition, the view counts are floored to a multiple of 100.DatasetsThe datasets published in this release are derived from a reader session dataset generated by the code in this notebook with the filtering described above. The raw reader session data itself will not be publicly available due to privacy considerations. The datasets described below are similar to the pageviews and clickstream data that the Wikimedia foundation publishes already, with the addition of the country specific counts.COVID-19 pageviewsThe file covid_pageviews.tsv contains:- pageview counts for COVID-19 related pages, aggregated by week and country- k-anonymity threshold of 100- example: In the 13th week of 2020 (23 March - 29 March 2020), the page 'Pandémie_de_Covid-19_en_Italie' on French Wikipedia was visited 11700 times from readers in Belgium- as a control bucket, we include pageview counts to all pages aggregated by week and country. Due to privacy considerations during the collection of the data, the control bucket was sampled at ~1% of all view traffic. The view counts for the control
title are thus proportional to the total number of pageviews to all pages.The file is ~8 MB and contains ~134000 data points across the 27 weeks, 108 countries, and 168 projects.Covid reader session bigramsThe file covid_session_bigrams.tsv contains:- number of occurrences of visits to pages A -> B, where either A or B is a COVID-19 related article. Note that the bigrams are tuples (from, to) of articles viewed in succession, the underlying mechanism can be clicking on a link in an article, but it may also have been a new search or reading both articles based on links from third source articles. In contrast, the clickstream data is based on referral information only- aggregated by month and country- k-anonymity threshold of 100- example: In March of 2020, there were a 1000 occurences of readers accessing the page es.wikipedia/SARS-CoV-2 followed by es.wikipedia/Orthocoronavirinae from ChileThe file is ~10 MB and contains ~90000 bigrams across the 6 months, 96 countries, and 56 projects.ContactPlease reach out to research-feedback@wikimedia.org for any questions.

To respond to the health crisis and the energising of the French health system, the government has been operating since March 18, 2020 patient transfers between hospitals. The aim of this scheme is to remove congestion among the institutions most affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.
As part of the development of the COVID-19 scoreboard available on the government website, the Ministry of Solidarity and Health communicates to Etalab the patient transfer data. These data are integrated into the dashboard and published on www.data.gouv.fr.
This dataset provides information on transfers of COVID-19 patients. It contains: — the start date of the transfer; — the end date of the transfer; — the means of transport used; — the region of departure; — the region of arrival; — the country of arrival if the transfer takes place outside French territory; — the number of patients transported.
The data is updated on a daily basis.

Earlier this year, Dr. Hoffman and Dr. Fafard published a book chapter on the efficacy and legality of border closures enacted by governments in response to changing COVID-19 conditions. The authors concluded border closures are at best, regarded as powerful symbolic acts taken by governments to show they are acting forcefully, even if the actions lack an epidemiological impact and breach international law. This COVID-19 travel restriction project was developed out of a necessity and desire to further examine the empirical implications of border closures. The current dataset contains bilateral travel restriction information on the status of 179 countries between 1 January 2020 and 8 June 2020. The data was extracted from the ‘international controls’ column from the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT). The data in the ‘international controls’ column outlined a country’s change in border control status, as a response to COVID-19 conditions. Accompanying source links were further verified through random selection and comparison with external news sources. Greater weight is given to official national government sources, then to provincial and municipal news-affiliated agencies. The database is presented in matrix form for each country-pair and date. Subsequently, each cell is represented by datum Xdmn and indicates the border closure status on date d by country m on country n. The coding is as follows: no border closure (code = 0), targeted border closure (= 1), and a total border closure (= 99). The dataset provides further details in the ‘notes’ column if the type of closure is a modified form of a targeted closure, either as a land or port closure, flight or visa suspension, or a re-opening of borders to select countries. Visa suspensions and closure of land borders were coded separately as de facto border closures and analyzed as targeted border closures in quantitative analyses. The file titled ‘BTR Supplementary Information’ covers a multitude of supplemental details to the database. The various tabs cover the following: 1) Codebook: variable name, format, source links, and description; 2) Sources, Access dates: dates of access for the individual source links with additional notes; 3) Country groups: breakdown of EEA, EU, SADC, Schengen groups with source links; 4) Newly added sources: for missing countries with a population greater than 1 million (meeting the inclusion criteria), relevant news sources were added for analysis; 5) Corrections: external news sources correcting for errors in the coding of international controls retrieved from the OxCGRT dataset. At the time of our study inception, there was no existing dataset which recorded the bilateral decisions of travel restrictions between countries. We hope this dataset will be useful in the study of the impact of border closures in the COVID-19 pandemic and widen the capabilities of studying border closures on a global scale, due to its interconnected nature and impact, rather than being limited in analysis to a single country or region only. Statement of contributions: Data entry and verification was performed mainly by GL, with assistance from MJP and RN. MP and IW provided further data verification on the nine countries purposively selected for the exploratory analysis of political decision-making.

Note: Reporting of new COVID-19 Case Surveillance data will be discontinued July 1, 2024, to align with the process of removing SARS-CoV-2 infections (COVID-19 cases) from the list of nationally notifiable diseases. Although these data will continue to be publicly available, the dataset will no longer be updated.
Authorizations to collect certain public health data expired at the end of the U.S. public health emergency declaration on May 11, 2023. The following jurisdictions discontinued COVID-19 case notifications to CDC: Iowa (11/8/21), Kansas (5/12/23), Kentucky (1/1/24), Louisiana (10/31/23), New Hampshire (5/23/23), and Oklahoma (5/2/23). Please note that these jurisdictions will not routinely send new case data after the dates indicated. As of 7/13/23, case notifications from Oregon will only include pediatric cases resulting in death.
This case surveillance publicly available dataset has 33 elements for all COVID-19 cases shared with CDC and includes demographics, geography (county and state of residence), any exposure history, disease severity indicators and outcomes, and presence of any underlying medical conditions and risk behaviors. This dataset requires a registration process and a data use agreement.
The COVID-19 case surveillance database includes individual-level data reported to U.S. states and autonomous reporting entities, including New York City and the District of Columbia (D.C.), as well as U.S. territories and affiliates. On April 5, 2020, COVID-19 was added to the Nationally Notifiable Condition List and classified as “immediately notifiable, urgent (within 24 hours)” by a Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) Interim Position Statement (Interim-20-ID-01). CSTE updated the position statement on August 5, 2020, to clarify the interpretation of antigen detection tests and serologic test results within the case classification (Interim-20-ID-02). The statement also recommended that all states and territories enact laws to make COVID-19 reportable in their jurisdiction, and that jurisdictions conducting surveillance should submit case notifications to CDC. COVID-19 case surveillance data are collected by jurisdictions and reported voluntarily to CDC.
COVID-19 case surveillance data are collected by jurisdictions and are shared voluntarily with CDC. For more information, visit: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/about-us-cases-deaths.html.
The deidentified data in the restricted access dataset include demographic characteristics, state and county of residence, any exposure history, disease severity indicators and outcomes, clinical data, laboratory diagnostic test results, and comorbidities.
All data elements can be found on the COVID-19 case report form located at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/pui-form.pdf.
COVID-19 case reports have been routinely submitted using standardized case reporting forms.
On April 5, 2020, CSTE released an Interim Position Statement with national surveillance case definitions for COVID-19 included. Current versions of these case definitions are available here: https://ndc.services.cdc.gov/case-definitions/coronavirus-disease-2019-2021/.
CSTE updated the position statement on August 5, 2020, to clarify the interpretation of antigen detection tests and serologic test results within the case classification. All cases reported on or after were requested to be shared by public health departments to CDC using the standardized case definitions for lab-confirmed or probable cases.
On May 5, 2020, the standardized case reporting form was revised. Case reporting using this new form is ongoing among U.S. states and territories.

To learn more about the limitations in using case surveillance data, visit FAQ: COVID-19 Data and Surveillance.
CDC’s Case Surveillance Section routinely performs data quality assurance procedures (i.e., ongoing corrections and logic checks to address data errors). To date, the following data cleaning steps have been implemented:
To prevent release of data that could be used to identify people, data cells are suppressed for low frequency (<11 COVID-19 case records with a given values). Suppression includes low frequency combinations of case month, geographic characteristics (county and state of residence), and demographic characteristics (sex, age group, race, and ethnicity). Suppressed values are re-coded to the NA answer option; records with data suppression are never removed.
COVID-19 data are available to the public as summary or aggregate count files, including total counts of cases and deaths by state and by county. These and other COVID-19 data are available from multiple public locations:
The COVID Tracking Project collects information from 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and 5 other US territories to provide the most comprehensive testing data we can collect for the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. We attempt to include positive and negative results, pending tests, and total people tested for each state or district currently reporting that data.
Testing is a crucial part of any public health response, and sharing test data is essential to understanding this outbreak. The CDC is currently not publishing complete testing data, so we’re doing our best to collect it from each state and provide it to the public. The information is patchy and inconsistent, so we’re being transparent about what we find and how we handle it—the spreadsheet includes our live comments about changing data and how we’re working with incomplete information.
From here, you can also learn about our methodology, see who makes this, and find out what information states provide and how we handle it.

This dataset contains 653 996 tweets related to the Coronavirus topic and highlighted by hashtags such as: #COVID-19, #COVID19, #COVID, #Coronavirus, #NCoV and #Corona. The tweets' crawling period started on the 27th of February and ended on the 25th of March 2020, which is spread over four weeks.
The tweets were generated by 390 458 users from 133 different countries and were written in 61 languages. English being the most used language with almost 400k tweets, followed by Spanish with around 80k tweets.
The data is stored in as a CSV file, where each line represents a tweet. The CSV file provides information on the following fields:
Author: the user who posted the tweet
Recipient: contains the name of the user in case of a reply, otherwise it would have the same value as the previous field
Tweet: the full content of the tweet
Hashtags: the list of hashtags present in the tweet
Language: the language of the tweet
Relationship: gives information on the type of the tweet, whether it is a retweet, a reply, a tweet with a mention, etc.
Location: the country of the author of the tweet, which is unfortunately not always available
Date: the publication date of the tweet
Source: the device or platform used to send the tweet
The dataset can as well be used to construct a social graph since it includes the relations "Replies to", "Retweet", "MentionsInRetweet" and "Mentions".
Based on a comparison of coronavirus deaths in 210 countries relative to their population, Peru had the most losses to COVID-19 up until July 13, 2022. As of the same date, the virus had infected over 557.8 million people worldwide, and the number of deaths had totaled more than 6.3 million. Note, however, that COVID-19 test rates can vary per country. Additionally, big differences show up between countries when combining the number of deaths against confirmed COVID-19 cases. The source seemingly does not differentiate between "the Wuhan strain" (2019-nCOV) of COVID-19, "the Kent mutation" (B.1.1.7) that appeared in the UK in late 2020, the 2021 Delta variant (B.1.617.2) from India or the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) from South Africa.
The difficulties of death figures
This table aims to provide a complete picture on the topic, but it very much relies on data that has become more difficult to compare. As the coronavirus pandemic developed across the world, countries already used different methods to count fatalities, and they sometimes changed them during the course of the pandemic. On April 16, for example, the Chinese city of Wuhan added a 50 percent increase in their death figures to account for community deaths. These deaths occurred outside of hospitals and went unaccounted for so far. The state of New York did something similar two days before, revising their figures with 3,700 new deaths as they started to include “assumed” coronavirus victims. The United Kingdom started counting deaths in care homes and private households on April 29, adjusting their number with about 5,000 new deaths (which were corrected lowered again by the same amount on August 18). This makes an already difficult comparison even more difficult. Belgium, for example, counts suspected coronavirus deaths in their figures, whereas other countries have not done that (yet). This means two things. First, it could have a big impact on both current as well as future figures. On April 16 already, UK health experts stated that if their numbers were corrected for community deaths like in Wuhan, the UK number would change from 205 to “above 300”. This is exactly what happened two weeks later. Second, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly which countries already have “revised” numbers (like Belgium, Wuhan or New York) and which ones do not. One work-around could be to look at (freely accessible) timelines that track the reported daily increase of deaths in certain countries. Several of these are available on our platform, such as for Belgium, Italy and Sweden. A sudden large increase might be an indicator that the domestic sources changed their methodology.
Where are these numbers coming from?
The numbers shown here were collected by Johns Hopkins University, a source that manually checks the data with domestic health authorities. For the majority of countries, this is from national authorities. In some cases, like China, the United States, Canada or Australia, city reports or other various state authorities were consulted. In this statistic, these separately reported numbers were put together. For more information or other freely accessible content, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.
