posts: 33805

This table contains the full text for all our old WORDPRESS content in html form. The format is a bit odd as it represents a direct copy from wordpress content that includes a lot of wordpress specific comments that carry some meaning in terms of layout instructions etc.. The html in the content column can thus be rendered as is but will not look identical to the way it looks on our website as several post processing steps are not applied yet. The content should work though as a readable approximation for every post. For easy searching etc, a markdown copy of the content is available in the markdown column. If you want to query all posts (both wordpress and gdocs), use the posts_unified table or the posts_unified_with_content view.

This is shown as the seven-day rolling average. ##### What is important to note about these case figures? * The reported case figures on a given date do not necessarily show the number of new cases on that day – this is due to delays in reporting. * The number of confirmed cases is lower than the true number of infections – this is due to limited testing. In a separate post we discuss how models of COVID-19 help us [estimate the true number of infections](https://ourworldindata.org/covid-models). → We provide more detail on these points in our page on [Cases of COVID-19](https://ourworldindata.org/covid-cases#cases-of-covid-19-background). #### Five quick reminders on how to interact with this chart * By clicking on + Add Country you can show and compare the data for any country in the world you are interested in. * If you click on the title of the chart, the chart will open in a new tab. You can then copy-paste the URL and share it. * You can switch the chart to a logarithmic axis by clicking on 'LOG'. * If you move both ends of the time-slider to a single point you will see a bar chart for that point in time. * Map view: switch to a global map of confirmed cases using the 'MAP' tab at the bottom of the chart. ### Daily confirmed cases: how do they compare to other countries? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?tab=map&zoomToSelection=true&country=&region=World&casesMetric=true&interval=smoothed&hideControls=true&perCapita=true&smoothing=7&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc"/> Differences in the population size between different countries are often large. To compare countries, it is insightful to look at the number of confirmed cases _per million people_ – this is what the chart shows. Keep in mind that in countries that do very little testing the actual number of cases can be much higher than the number of confirmed cases shown here. #### Three tips on how to interact with this map * By clicking on any country on the map you see the change over time in this country. * By moving the time slider (below the map) you can see how the global situation has changed over time. * You can focus on a particular world region using the dropdown menu to the top-right of the map. ### What is the cumulative number of confirmed cases? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?country=~OWID_WRL&hideControls=true&Interval=Cumulative&Relative+to+Population=false&Metric=Confirmed+cases&Color+by+test+positivity=false"/> ##### Related charts: ### Cumulative confirmed cases by region Which world regions have the most cumulative confirmed cases? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid-cases-region ### Tests conducted vs. confirmed cases [scatterplot] How do the number of tests compare to the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-19-total-confirmed-cases-vs-total-tests-conducted The previous charts looked at the number of confirmed cases per day – this chart shows the _cumulative_ number of confirmed cases since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. #### In all our charts you can download the data We want everyone to build on top of our work and therefore we always make all our data available for download. Click on the 'Download'-tab at the bottom of the chart to download the shown data for all countries in a .csv file. ### Cumulative confirmed cases: how do they compare to other countries? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?tab=map&hideControls=true&Interval=Cumulative&Relative+to+Population=true&Metric=Confirmed+cases&Color+by+test+positivity=false"/> This chart shows the cumulative number of confirmed cases per million people. ### Biweekly cases: where are confirmed cases increasing or falling? ##### Why is it useful to look at biweekly changes in confirmed cases? For all global data sources on the pandemic, daily data does not necessarily refer to the number of new confirmed cases _on that day_ – but to the cases _reported_ on that day. Since reporting can vary significantly from day to day – irrespectively of any actual variation of cases – it is helpful to look at a longer time span that is less affected by the daily variation in reporting. This provides a clearer picture of where the pandemic is accelerating, staying the same, or reducing. The first map here provides figures on the number of confirmed cases in the last two weeks. To enable comparisons across countries it is expressed per million people of the population. And the second map shows the percentage change (growth rate) over this period: blue are all those countries in which the case count in the last two weeks was lower than in the two weeks before. In red countries the case count has increased. <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/biweekly-cases-per-million-people"/> ### Weekly confirmed cases per million people What is the weekly number of confirmed cases? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/weekly-cases-per-million-people <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/biweekly-growth-covid-cases"/> ### Weekly change in confirmed cases What is the weekly change (growth rate) in confirmed cases? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/weekly-growth-covid-cases ### Global cases in comparison: how are cases changing across the world? ### Global confirmed cases in comparison In our page on COVID-19 cases, we provide charts and maps on how the number and change in cases compare across the world. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-cases ## Confirmed deaths ### What is the daily number of confirmed deaths? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-03-01..latest&country=IND~USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~FRA&region=World&deathsMetric=true&interval=smoothed&hideControls=true&smoothing=7&pickerMetric=total_cases&pickerSort=desc"/> ##### Related charts: ### Daily confirmed deaths by region Which world regions have the most daily confirmed deaths? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-covid-deaths-region This chart shows the number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths _per day_. ##### Three points on confirmed death figures to keep in mind All three points are true for all currently available international data sources on COVID-19 deaths: * The actual death toll from COVID-19 is likely to be higher than the number of confirmed deaths – this is due to limited testing and challenges in the attribution of the cause of death. The difference between confirmed deaths and actual deaths varies by country. * How COVID-19 deaths are determined and recorded may differ between countries. * The death figures on a given date do not necessarily show the number of new deaths on that day, but the deaths _reported_ on that day. Since reporting can vary significantly from day to day – irrespectively of any actual variation of deaths – it is helpful to view the seven-day rolling average of the daily figures as we do in the chart here. → We provide more detail on these three points in our page on [Deaths from COVID-19](https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths#deaths-from-covid-19-background). ### Daily confirmed deaths: how do they compare to other countries? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?tab=map&zoomToSelection=true&country=IND~USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~FRA&region=World&deathsMetric=true&interval=smoothed&hideControls=true&perCapita=true&smoothing=7&pickerMetric=total_cases&pickerSort=desc"/> This chart shows the daily confirmed deaths per million people of a country's population. ##### Why adjust for the size of the population? Differences in the population size between countries are often large, and [the COVID-19 death count in more populous countries tends to be higher](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-confirmed-deaths-due-to-covid-19-vs-population). Because of this it can be insightful to know how the number of confirmed deaths in a country compares to the number of people who live there, especially when comparing across countries. For instance, if 1,000 people died in Iceland, out of a population of about 340,000, that would have a far bigger impact than the same number dying in the United States, with its population of 331 million.{ref}Here is [our visualization for the population of Iceland and the US](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/projected-population-by-country?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&time=1800..2020&country=ISL~USA&region=World). Any other country can be added to this chart.{/ref} This difference in impact is clear when comparing deaths per million people of each country's population – in this example it would be roughly 3 deaths/million people in the US compared to a staggering 2,941 deaths/million people in Iceland. ### What is the cumulative number of confirmed deaths? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-03-01..latest&country=IND~USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~FRA&region=World&deathsMetric=true&interval=total&hideControls=true&smoothing=0&pickerMetric=total_cases&pickerSort=desc"/> ##### Related charts: ### Cumulative confirmed deaths by region Which world regions have the most cumulative confirmed deaths? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid-deaths-region The previous charts looked at the number of confirmed deaths per day – this chart shows the _cumulative_ number of confirmed deaths since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. ### Cumulative confirmed deaths: how do they compare to other countries? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?tab=map&zoomToSelection=true&country=IND~USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~FRA&region=World&deathsMetric=true&interval=total&hideControls=true&perCapita=true&smoothing=0&pickerMetric=total_cases&pickerSort=desc"/> This chart shows the cumulative number of confirmed deaths per million people. ### Biweekly deaths: where are confirmed deaths increasing or falling? ##### Why is it useful to look at biweekly changes in deaths?

This is shown as the rolling seven-day average. Note that this is counted as a single dose, and may not equal the total number of people vaccinated, depending on the specific dose regime (e.g., people receive multiple doses). ### How many COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in total? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-vaccination-doses-per-capita?tab=map&stackMode=absolute&time=latest&region=World"/> ##### Related charts: ### <strong>Total</strong> number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered How many vaccine doses have been administered in total (not population adjusted)? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-covid-vaccinations?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&time=earliest..latest&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Total vaccine doses administered https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-total-covid-19-vaccine-doses-administered?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Total vaccine doses administered per 100 people https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-state-covid-vaccines-per-100?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World This chart shows the _total _number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered per 100 people within a given population. Note that this is counted as a single dose, and may not equal the total number of people vaccinated, depending on the specific dose regime as several available COVID vaccines require multiple doses. ### What share of the population has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-people-vaccinated-covid?stackMode=absolute&region=World"/> ##### Related charts: ### Number who have received at least one dose of the vaccine How many people have received at least one vaccine dose? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/people-vaccinated-covid?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&time=earliest..latest&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Number who have received at least one dose of the vaccine https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-covid-19-total-people-vaccinated?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Share who have received at least one dose of the vaccine https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-covid-19-share-people-vaccinated?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World This chart shows the share of the total population that has received _at least one dose_ of the COVID-19 vaccine. This may not equal the share with a complete initial protocol if the vaccine requires two doses. If a person receives the first dose of a 2-dose vaccine, this metric goes up by 1. If they receive the second dose, the metric stays the same. ### What share of the population has completed the initial vaccination protocol? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-people-fully-vaccinated-covid?tab=map&stackMode=absolute&time=latest&region=World"/> ##### Related charts: ### Number who have completed the initial vaccination protocol How many people have completed the initial vaccination protocol? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/people-fully-vaccinated-covid?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Number who have completed the initial vaccination protocol https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-covid-number-fully-vaccinated?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Share who have completed the initial vaccination protocol https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-covid-share-fully-vaccinated?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World The following chart shows the share of the total population that has completed the initial vaccination protocol. If a person receives the first dose of a 2-dose vaccine, this metric stays the same. If they receive the second dose, the metric goes up by 1. This data is only available for countries which report the breakdown of doses administered by first and second doses. ### Global vaccinations in comparison: which countries are vaccinating most rapidly? ### Global COVID-19 vaccinations in comparison In our page on COVID-19 vaccinations, we provide maps and charts on how the number of people vaccinated compares across the world. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations ## Testing for COVID-19 ### The positive rate <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/positive-rate-daily-smoothed"/> Here we show the share of reported tests returning a positive result – known as the positive rate. The positive rate can be a good metric for how adequately countries are testing because it can indicate the level of testing relative to the size of the outbreak. To be able to properly monitor and control the spread of the virus, countries with more widespread outbreaks need to do more testing. ### <strong>How many tests does a country do to find one COVID-19 case?</strong> It can also be helpful to think of the positive rate the other way around: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/tests-per-confirmed-case-daily-smoothed?tab=chart ### Total tests per confirmed case How many tests have countries done for each confirmed case in total across the outbreak? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-covid-19-tests-per-confirmed-case-bar-chart ### The scale of testing compared to the scale of the outbreak <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-19-daily-tests-vs-daily-new-confirmed-cases-per-million"/> ### Daily tests vs. daily new cases How do daily tests and daily new confirmed cases compare when not adjusted for population? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-19-daily-tests-vs-daily-new-confirmed-cases This scatter chart provides another way of seeing the extent of testing relative to the scale of the outbreak in different countries. The chart shows the daily number of tests (vertical axis) against the daily number of new confirmed cases (horizontal axis), both per million people. ### How many tests are performed each day? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-tests-per-thousand-people-smoothed-7-day?tab=chart"/> This chart shows the number of _daily_ tests per thousand people. Because the number of tests is often volatile from day to day, we show the figures as a seven-day rolling average. ##### What is counted as a test? The number of tests does not refer to the same thing in each country – one difference is that some countries report the number of people tested, while others report the number of tests (which can be higher if the same person is tested more than once). And other countries report their testing data in a way that leaves it unclear what the test count refers to exactly. We indicate the differences in the chart and explain them in detail in our accompanying [source descriptions](https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-testing#source-information-country-by-country). ### Global testing in comparison: how is testing changing across the world? ### Global testing in comparison In our page on COVID-19 testing, we provide charts and maps on how the number and change in tests compare across the world. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-testing ## Case fatality rate ### What does the data on deaths and cases tell us about the mortality risk of COVID-19? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-deaths-and-cases-covid-19"/> To understand the risks and respond appropriately we would also want to know the mortality risk of COVID-19 – the likelihood that someone who is infected with the disease will die from it. We look into this question in more detail on [our page about the mortality risk of COVID-19](https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid#what-do-we-know-about-the-risk-of-dying-from-covid-19), where we explain that this requires us to know – or estimate – the number of total cases and the final number of deaths for a given infected population. Because these are not known, we discuss what the current data on confirmed deaths and cases can and can not tell us about the risk of death. This chart shows both those metrics. ### The case fatality rate <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-03-14..&country=OWID_WRL~USA~ITA~BRA~ESP~SWE~DEU~IND~IRN~KOR~NZL&cfrMetric=true&interval=total&aligned=true&hideControls=true&smoothing=0&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc"/> ##### Related chart: ### Cumulative confirmed deaths vs. cases [scatterplot] How do the cumulative number of confirmed deaths and cases compare? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-19-total-confirmed-cases-vs-total-confirmed-deaths The case fatality rate is simply the ratio of the two metrics shown in the chart above. The case fatality rate is the number of confirmed deaths divided by the number of confirmed cases. This chart here plots the CFR calculated in just that way. During an outbreak – and especially when the total number of cases is not known – one has to be very careful in interpreting the CFR. We wrote a [detailed explainer](https://ourworldindata.org/covid-mortality-risk) on what can and can not be said based on current CFR figures. ### Learn in more detail about the mortality risk of COVID-19 ### Our page on the mortality risk of COVID-19 Learn what we know about the mortality risk of COVID-19 and explore the data used to calculate it. https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid ## Government Responses To understand how governments have responded to the pandemic, we rely on data from the [Oxford Coronavirus Government Response Tracker](https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-projects/coronavirus-government-response-tracker) (OxCGRT), which is published and managed by researchers at the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford. This tracker collects publicly available information on 17 indicators of government responses, spanning containment and closure policies (such as school closures and restrictions in movement); economic policies; and health system policies (such as testing regimes). ##### How have countries responded to the pandemic? ### Government Responses to the Coronavirus Pandemic Travel bans, stay-at-home restrictions, school closures – how have countries responded to the pandemic? Explore the data on all policy measures. https://owid.cloud/policy-responses-covid ### Government Stringency Index <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?uniformYAxis=0&hideControls=true&Metric=Stringency+index&Interval=7-day+rolling+average&Relative+to+Population=true&Color+by+test+positivity=false&country=USA~ITA~CAN~DEU~GBR~FRA"/> The chart here shows how governmental response has changed over time. It shows the Government Stringency Index – a composite measure of the strictness of policy responses. The index on any given day is calculated as the mean score of nine policy measures, each taking a value between 0 and 100. See the authors’ [full description](https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/Calculation%20and%20presentation%20of%20the%20Stringency%20Index.pdf) of how this index is calculated. A higher score indicates a stricter government response (i.e. 100 = strictest response). The OxCGRT project calculates this index using nine specific measures, including: * school and workplace closures; * restrictions on public gatherings; * transport restrictions; * and stay-at-home requirements. You can see all of these separately on our [page on policy responses](https://ourworldindata.org/policy-responses-covid). There you can also compare these responses in countries across the world.	{ "id": 33805, "date": "2020-05-26T09:25:10", "guid": { "rendered": "https://owid.cloud/?page_id=33805" }, "link": "https://owid.cloud/coronavirus-country-profile", "meta": { "owid_publication_context_meta_field": [], "owid_key_performance_indicators_meta_field": [] }, "slug": "coronavirus-country-profile", "tags": [], "type": "page", "title": { "rendered": "Coronavirus Country Profile" }, "_links": { "self": [ { "href": "https://owid.cloud/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/33805" } ], "about": [ { "href": "https://owid.cloud/wp-json/wp/v2/types/page" } ], "author": [ { "href": "https://owid.cloud/wp-json/wp/v2/users/17", "embeddable": true } ], "curies": [ { "href": "https://api.w.org/{rel}", "name": "wp", "templated": true } ], "replies": [ { "href": "https://owid.cloud/wp-json/wp/v2/comments?post=33805", "embeddable": true } ], "wp:term": [ { "href": "https://owid.cloud/wp-json/wp/v2/categories?post=33805", "taxonomy": "category", "embeddable": true }, { "href": "https://owid.cloud/wp-json/wp/v2/tags?post=33805", "taxonomy": "post_tag", "embeddable": true } ], "collection": [ { "href": "https://owid.cloud/wp-json/wp/v2/pages" } ], "wp:attachment": [ { "href": "https://owid.cloud/wp-json/wp/v2/media?parent=33805" } ], "version-history": [ { "href": "https://owid.cloud/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/33805/revisions", "count": 13 } ], "wp:featuredmedia": [ { "href": "https://owid.cloud/wp-json/wp/v2/media/33486", "embeddable": true } ], "predecessor-version": [ { "id": 51053, "href": "https://owid.cloud/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/33805/revisions/51053" } ] }, "author": 17, "parent": 0, "status": "publish", "content": { "rendered": "\t<div class=\"wp-block-owid-byline\">\n\t\t\n\n<p><a href=\"https://ourworldindata.org/team\"><strong>Research and data:</strong> Edouard Mathieu, Hannah Ritchie, Lucas Rod\u00e9s-Guirao, Cameron Appel, Daniel Gavrilov, Charlie Giattino, Joe Hasell, Bobbie Macdonald, Saloni Dattani, Diana Beltekian, Esteban Ortiz-Ospina, and Max Roser</a></p>\n\n\n\t</div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-last-updated\">\n\t\t\n\n<p>The data on the coronavirus pandemic is updated daily. {{LastUpdated timestampUrl:https://covid.ourworldindata.org/data/internal/timestamp/owid-covid-data-last-updated-timestamp-root.txt}}</p>\n\n\n\t</div>\n\n\n<!-- formatting-options subnavId:coronavirus subnavCurrentId:by-country -->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #6e87a2;

This is shown as the seven-day rolling average. ##### What is important to note about these case figures? * The reported case figures on a given date do not necessarily show the number of new cases on that day – this is due to delays in reporting. * The number of confirmed cases is lower than the true number of infections – this is due to limited testing. In a separate post we discuss how models of COVID-19 help us [estimate the true number of infections](https://ourworldindata.org/covid-models). → We provide more detail on these points in our page on [Cases of COVID-19](https://ourworldindata.org/covid-cases#cases-of-covid-19-background). #### **Five quick reminders on how to interact with this chart** * By clicking on + Add Country you can show and compare the data for any country in the world you are interested in. * If you click on the title of the chart, the chart will open in a new tab. You can then copy-paste the URL and share it. * You can switch the chart to a logarithmic axis by clicking on 'LOG'. * If you move both ends of the time-slider to a single point you will see a bar chart for that point in time. * Map view: switch to a global map of confirmed cases using the 'MAP' tab at the bottom of the chart. ### **Daily** confirmed cases: how do they compare to other countries? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?tab=map&zoomToSelection=true&country=&region=World&casesMetric=true&interval=smoothed&hideControls=true&perCapita=true&smoothing=7&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc"/> Differences in the population size between different countries are often large. To compare countries, it is insightful to look at the number of confirmed cases _per million people_ – this is what the chart shows. Keep in mind that in countries that do very little testing the actual number of cases can be much higher than the number of confirmed cases shown here. #### Three tips on how to interact with this map * By clicking on any country on the map you see the change over time in this country. * By moving the time slider (below the map) you can see how the global situation has changed over time. * You can focus on a particular world region using the dropdown menu to the top-right of the map. ### What is the **cumulative** number of confirmed cases? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?country=~OWID_WRL&hideControls=true&Interval=Cumulative&Relative+to+Population=false&Metric=Confirmed+cases&Color+by+test+positivity=false"/> ##### Related charts: ### Cumulative confirmed cases by region Which world regions have the most cumulative confirmed cases? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid-cases-region ### Tests conducted vs. confirmed cases [scatterplot] How do the number of tests compare to the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-19-total-confirmed-cases-vs-total-tests-conducted The previous charts looked at the number of confirmed cases per day – this chart shows the _cumulative_ number of confirmed cases since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. #### **In all our charts you can download the data** We want everyone to build on top of our work and therefore we always make all our data available for download. Click on the 'Download'-tab at the bottom of the chart to download the shown data for all countries in a .csv file. ### **Cumulative** confirmed cases: how do they compare to other countries? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?tab=map&hideControls=true&Interval=Cumulative&Relative+to+Population=true&Metric=Confirmed+cases&Color+by+test+positivity=false"/> This chart shows the cumulative number of confirmed cases per million people. ### **Biweekly cases**: where are confirmed cases increasing or falling? ##### Why is it useful to look at biweekly changes in confirmed cases? For all global data sources on the pandemic, daily data does not necessarily refer to the number of new confirmed cases _on that day_ – but to the cases _reported_ on that day. Since reporting can vary significantly from day to day – irrespectively of any actual variation of cases – it is helpful to look at a longer time span that is less affected by the daily variation in reporting. This provides a clearer picture of where the pandemic is accelerating, staying the same, or reducing. The first map here provides figures on the number of confirmed cases in the last two weeks. To enable comparisons across countries it is expressed per million people of the population. And the second map shows the percentage change (growth rate) over this period: blue are all those countries in which the case count in the last two weeks was lower than in the two weeks before. In red countries the case count has increased. <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/biweekly-cases-per-million-people"/> ### Weekly confirmed cases per million people What is the weekly number of confirmed cases? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/weekly-cases-per-million-people <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/biweekly-growth-covid-cases"/> ### Weekly change in confirmed cases What is the weekly change (growth rate) in confirmed cases? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/weekly-growth-covid-cases ### **Global cases in comparison:** how are cases changing across the world? ### Global confirmed cases in comparison In our page on COVID-19 cases, we provide charts and maps on how the number and change in cases compare across the world. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-cases ## Confirmed deaths ### What is the **daily** number of confirmed deaths? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-03-01..latest&country=IND~USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~FRA&region=World&deathsMetric=true&interval=smoothed&hideControls=true&smoothing=7&pickerMetric=total_cases&pickerSort=desc"/> ##### Related charts: ### Daily confirmed deaths by region Which world regions have the most daily confirmed deaths? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-covid-deaths-region This chart shows **t**he number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths _per day_. ##### Three points on confirmed death figures to keep in mind All three points are true for all currently available international data sources on COVID-19 deaths: * The actual death toll from COVID-19 is likely to be higher than the number of confirmed deaths – this is due to limited testing and challenges in the attribution of the cause of death. The difference between confirmed deaths and actual deaths varies by country. * How COVID-19 deaths are determined and recorded may differ between countries. * The death figures on a given date do not necessarily show the number of new deaths on that day, but the deaths _reported_ on that day. Since reporting can vary significantly from day to day – irrespectively of any actual variation of deaths – it is helpful to view the seven-day rolling average of the daily figures as we do in the chart here. → We provide more detail on these three points in our page on [Deaths from COVID-19](https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths#deaths-from-covid-19-background). ### **Daily** confirmed deaths: how do they compare to other countries? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?tab=map&zoomToSelection=true&country=IND~USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~FRA&region=World&deathsMetric=true&interval=smoothed&hideControls=true&perCapita=true&smoothing=7&pickerMetric=total_cases&pickerSort=desc"/> This chart shows the daily confirmed deaths per million people of a country's population. ##### Why adjust for the size of the population? Differences in the population size between countries are often large, and [the COVID-19 death count in more populous countries tends to be higher](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-confirmed-deaths-due-to-covid-19-vs-population). Because of this it can be insightful to know how the number of confirmed deaths in a country compares to the number of people who live there, especially when comparing across countries. For instance, if 1,000 people died in Iceland, out of a population of about 340,000, that would have a far bigger impact than the same number dying in the United States, with its population of 331 million.{ref}Here is [our visualization for the population of Iceland and the US](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/projected-population-by-country?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&time=1800..2020&country=ISL~USA&region=World). Any other country can be added to this chart.{/ref} This difference in impact is clear when comparing deaths per million people of each country's population – in this example it would be roughly 3 deaths/million people in the US compared to a staggering 2,941 deaths/million people in Iceland. ### What is the **cumulative** number of confirmed deaths? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-03-01..latest&country=IND~USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~FRA&region=World&deathsMetric=true&interval=total&hideControls=true&smoothing=0&pickerMetric=total_cases&pickerSort=desc"/> ##### Related charts: ### Cumulative confirmed deaths by region Which world regions have the most cumulative confirmed deaths? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid-deaths-region The previous charts looked at the number of confirmed deaths per day – this chart shows the _cumulative_ number of confirmed deaths since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. ### **Cumulative** confirmed deaths: how do they compare to other countries? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?tab=map&zoomToSelection=true&country=IND~USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~FRA&region=World&deathsMetric=true&interval=total&hideControls=true&perCapita=true&smoothing=0&pickerMetric=total_cases&pickerSort=desc"/> This chart shows the cumulative number of confirmed deaths per million people. ### **Biweekly deaths**: where are confirmed deaths increasing or falling? ##### Why is it useful to look at biweekly changes in deaths?

This is shown as the rolling seven-day average. Note that this is counted as a single dose, and may not equal the total number of people vaccinated, depending on the specific dose regime (e.g., people receive multiple doses). ### How many COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered **in total**? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-vaccination-doses-per-capita?tab=map&stackMode=absolute&time=latest&region=World"/> ##### Related charts: ### <strong>Total</strong> number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered How many vaccine doses have been administered in total (not population adjusted)? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-covid-vaccinations?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&time=earliest..latest&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Total vaccine doses administered https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-total-covid-19-vaccine-doses-administered?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Total vaccine doses administered per 100 people https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-state-covid-vaccines-per-100?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World This chart shows the _total _number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered per 100 people within a given population. Note that this is counted as a single dose, and may not equal the total number of people vaccinated, depending on the specific dose regime as several available COVID vaccines require multiple doses. ### What share of the population has received **at least one dose** of the COVID-19 vaccine? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-people-vaccinated-covid?stackMode=absolute&region=World"/> ##### Related charts: ### Number who have received at least one dose of the vaccine How many people have received at least one vaccine dose? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/people-vaccinated-covid?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&time=earliest..latest&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Number who have received at least one dose of the vaccine https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-covid-19-total-people-vaccinated?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Share who have received at least one dose of the vaccine https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-covid-19-share-people-vaccinated?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World This chart shows the share of the total population that has received _at least one dose_ of the COVID-19 vaccine. This may not equal the share with a complete initial protocol if the vaccine requires two doses. If a person receives the first dose of a 2-dose vaccine, this metric goes up by 1. If they receive the second dose, the metric stays the same. ### What share of the population has **completed the initial vaccination protocol**? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-people-fully-vaccinated-covid?tab=map&stackMode=absolute&time=latest&region=World"/> ##### Related charts: ### Number who have completed the initial vaccination protocol How many people have completed the initial vaccination protocol? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/people-fully-vaccinated-covid?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Number who have completed the initial vaccination protocol https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-covid-number-fully-vaccinated?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World ### US state-by-state data: Share who have completed the initial vaccination protocol https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-covid-share-fully-vaccinated?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&region=World The following chart shows the share of the total population that has completed the initial vaccination protocol. If a person receives the first dose of a 2-dose vaccine, this metric stays the same. If they receive the second dose, the metric goes up by 1. This data is only available for countries which report the breakdown of doses administered by first and second doses. ### **Global vaccinations in comparison:** which countries are vaccinating most rapidly? ### Global COVID-19 vaccinations in comparison In our page on COVID-19 vaccinations, we provide maps and charts on how the number of people vaccinated compares across the world. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations ## Testing for COVID-19 ### The positive rate <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/positive-rate-daily-smoothed"/> Here we show the share of reported tests returning a positive result – known as the positive rate. The positive rate can be a good metric for how adequately countries are testing because it can indicate the level of testing relative to the size of the outbreak. To be able to properly monitor and control the spread of the virus, countries with more widespread outbreaks need to do more testing. ### <strong>How many tests does a country do to find one COVID-19 case?</strong> It can also be helpful to think of the positive rate the other way around: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/tests-per-confirmed-case-daily-smoothed?tab=chart ### Total tests per confirmed case How many tests have countries done for each confirmed case in total across the outbreak? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-covid-19-tests-per-confirmed-case-bar-chart ### The scale of testing compared to the scale of the outbreak <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-19-daily-tests-vs-daily-new-confirmed-cases-per-million"/> ### Daily tests vs. daily new cases How do daily tests and daily new confirmed cases compare when not adjusted for population? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-19-daily-tests-vs-daily-new-confirmed-cases This scatter chart provides another way of seeing the extent of testing relative to the scale of the outbreak in different countries. The chart shows the daily number of tests (vertical axis) against the daily number of new confirmed cases (horizontal axis), both per million people. ### How many tests are performed **each day**? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-tests-per-thousand-people-smoothed-7-day?tab=chart"/> This chart shows the number of _daily_ tests per thousand people. Because the number of tests is often volatile from day to day, we show the figures as a seven-day rolling average. ##### What is counted as a test? The number of tests does not refer to the same thing in each country – one difference is that some countries report the number of people tested, while others report the number of tests (which can be higher if the same person is tested more than once). And other countries report their testing data in a way that leaves it unclear what the test count refers to exactly. We indicate the differences in the chart and explain them in detail in our accompanying [source descriptions](https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-testing#source-information-country-by-country). ### **Global testing in comparison:** how is testing changing across the world? ### Global testing in comparison In our page on COVID-19 testing, we provide charts and maps on how the number and change in tests compare across the world. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-testing ## Case fatality rate ### What does the data on deaths and cases tell us about the mortality risk of COVID-19? <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-deaths-and-cases-covid-19"/> To understand the risks and respond appropriately we would also want to know the mortality risk of COVID-19 – the likelihood that someone who is infected with the disease will die from it. We look into this question in more detail on [our page about the mortality risk of COVID-19](https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid#what-do-we-know-about-the-risk-of-dying-from-covid-19), where we explain that this requires us to know – or estimate – the number of total cases and the final number of deaths for a given infected population. Because **these are not known**, we discuss what the current data on **confirmed** deaths and cases can and can not tell us about the risk of death. This chart shows both those metrics. ### The case fatality rate <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-03-14..&country=OWID_WRL~USA~ITA~BRA~ESP~SWE~DEU~IND~IRN~KOR~NZL&cfrMetric=true&interval=total&aligned=true&hideControls=true&smoothing=0&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc"/> ##### Related chart: ### Cumulative confirmed deaths vs. cases [scatterplot] How do the cumulative number of confirmed deaths and cases compare? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-19-total-confirmed-cases-vs-total-confirmed-deaths The case fatality rate is simply the ratio of the two metrics shown in the chart above. **The case fatality rate is the number of confirmed deaths divided by the number of confirmed cases.** This chart here plots the CFR calculated in just that way. During an outbreak – and especially when the total number of cases is not known – **one has to be very careful in interpreting the CFR**. We wrote a [detailed explainer](https://ourworldindata.org/covid-mortality-risk) on what can and can not be said based on current CFR figures. ### Learn in more detail about the mortality risk of COVID-19 ### Our page on the mortality risk of COVID-19 Learn what we know about the mortality risk of COVID-19 and explore the data used to calculate it. https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid ## Government Responses To understand how governments have responded to the pandemic, we rely on data from the [Oxford Coronavirus Government Response Tracker](https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-projects/coronavirus-government-response-tracker) (OxCGRT), which is published and managed by researchers at the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford. This tracker collects publicly available information on 17 indicators of government responses, spanning containment and closure policies (such as school closures and restrictions in movement); economic policies; and health system policies (such as testing regimes). ##### How have countries responded to the pandemic? ### Government Responses to the Coronavirus Pandemic Travel bans, stay-at-home restrictions, school closures – how have countries responded to the pandemic? Explore the data on all policy measures. https://owid.cloud/policy-responses-covid ### Government Stringency Index <Chart url="https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?uniformYAxis=0&hideControls=true&Metric=Stringency+index&Interval=7-day+rolling+average&Relative+to+Population=true&Color+by+test+positivity=false&country=USA~ITA~CAN~DEU~GBR~FRA"/> The chart here shows how governmental response has changed over time. It shows the Government Stringency Index – a composite measure of the strictness of policy responses. The index on any given day is calculated as the mean score of nine policy measures, each taking a value between 0 and 100. See the authors’ [full description](https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/Calculation%20and%20presentation%20of%20the%20Stringency%20Index.pdf) of how this index is calculated. A higher score indicates a stricter government response (i.e. 100 = strictest response). The OxCGRT project calculates this index using nine specific measures, including: * school and workplace closures; * restrictions on public gatherings; * transport restrictions; * and stay-at-home requirements. You can see all of these separately on our [page on policy responses](https://ourworldindata.org/policy-responses-covid). There you can also compare these responses in countries across the world.

Because of this it can be insightful to know how the number of confirmed deaths in a country compares to the number of people who live there, especially when comparing across countries.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if 1,000 people died in Iceland, out of a population of about 340,000, that would have a far bigger impact than the same number dying in the United States, with its population of 331 million.{ref}Here is <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/projected-population-by-country?tab=chart&amp;stackMode=absolute&amp;time=1800..2020&amp;country=ISL~USA&amp;region=World\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/projected-population-by-country?tab=chart&amp;stackMode=absolute&amp;time=1800..2020&amp;country=ISL~USA&amp;region=World\">our visualization for the population of Iceland and the US</a>. Any other country can be added to this chart.{/ref} This difference in impact is clear when comparing deaths per million people of each country&#8217;s population \u2013 in this example it would be roughly 3 deaths/million people in the US compared to a staggering 2,941 deaths/million people in Iceland.</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<h3>What is the <strong>cumulative</strong> number of confirmed deaths?</h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-style-sticky-left\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<iframe src=\"https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&amp;time=2020-03-01..latest&amp;country=IND~USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~FRA&amp;region=World&amp;deathsMetric=true&amp;interval=total&amp;hideControls=true&amp;smoothing=0&amp;pickerMetric=total_cases&amp;pickerSort=desc\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 600px; border: 0px none;\"></iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Related charts:</h5>\n\n\n    <block type=\"prominent-link\" style=\"is-style-thin\">\n        <link-url>https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid-deaths-region</link-url>\n        <title>Cumulative confirmed deaths by region</title>\n        <content>\n\n<p>Which <strong>world regions</strong> have the most cumulative confirmed deaths?</p>\n\n</content>\n        <figure><img width=\"768\" height=\"1\" src=\"https://owid.cloud/app/uploads/2020/04/total-covid-deaths-region.svg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"600\" width=\"850\" /></figure>\n    </block>\n\n\n<p></p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>The previous charts looked at the number of confirmed deaths per day \u2013 this chart shows the <em>cumulative</em> number of confirmed deaths since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Cumulative</strong> confirmed deaths: how do they compare to other countries?</h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-style-sticky-left\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<iframe src=\"https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?tab=map&amp;zoomToSelection=true&amp;country=IND~USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~FRA&amp;region=World&amp;deathsMetric=true&amp;interval=total&amp;hideControls=true&amp;perCapita=true&amp;smoothing=0&amp;pickerMetric=total_cases&amp;pickerSort=desc\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 600px; border: 0px none;\"></iframe>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>This chart shows the cumulative number of confirmed deaths per million people.</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Biweekly deaths</strong>: where are confirmed deaths increasing or falling?</h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-style-side-by-side\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h5>Why is it useful to look at biweekly changes in deaths?</h5>\n\n\n\n<p>For all global data sources on the pandemic, daily data does not necessarily refer to deaths <em>on that day</em> \u2013 but to the deaths&nbsp;<em>reported</em>&nbsp;on that day. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since reporting can vary significantly from day to day \u2013 irrespectively of any actual variation of deaths \u2013 it is helpful to look at a longer time span that is less affected by the daily variation in reporting.
