The deadly coronavirus continues to spread across the globe, and you can use an online dashboard to keep up with all reported cases. The Center for Systems Science and Engineering has built a tool pulling in data from the World Health Organization, as well as the centers for disease control in the US, China and Europe. It shows all confirmed, suspected and recovered coronavirus patients, as well as deaths.
Coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan, China, has so far killed more than 7,000 people and infected over 181,000. Cases have been confirmed in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America, Australia and the Pacific, with the illness exhibiting pneumonia-like symptoms. It was first reported to the World Health Organization on Dec. 31, 2019, with Chinese scientists linking the disease to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses that include the deadly SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).
As of 1:20 p.m. PT on March 16, the dashboard showed 7,081 deaths. There are 81,032 confirmed cases in mainland China, 27,980 in Italy, 14,991 in Iran, 9,428 in Spain, 8,236 in South Korea, 7,174 in Germany, 5,397 in France, 4,200 in the US, 2,200 in Switzerland and 1,551 in the UK. The dashboard shows the virus has spread to 155 countries, with even the smallest areas including Faroe Islands and Vatican City reporting cases. Around 78,000 people have recovered from the virus.
The dashboard shows deaths in China, the US, the UK, Australia, Italy, Germany, Austria, Canada, South Korea, Japan, France, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, Philippines, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Ireland, Azerbaijan, Morocco, Panama, Belgium, Poland, Lebanon, San Marino, Bulgaria, Ukraine, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, Egypt, Sudan, Greece, Argentina, Albania, Algeria, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Hungary, Luxembourg, Martinique, Slovenia and the Diamond Princess cruise ship.
