Note 1: The daily WHO reports contain the number of cases reported by the member states by midnight CET , this not only results in a time delay. The individual countries also differ greatly in their reporting policies and test capacity, so that the countries can not be compared on the basis of these figures , see section COVID-19 pandemic # Notes on the data and case definition of the WHO . In some cells in the table there are identical numbers on consecutive days or lower increases than in the days before and after. These can be based on such delayed and uncorrected reporting processes, especially on weekend days. For systematic biases in the collection of the data, see also COVID-19 pandemic # Discussion about the validity of the reported data . The WHO started publishing daily reports with the data on January 21, 2020 with the Situation report - 1 on its website.
Confirmed cases of infection
Confirmed cases of infection (cumulative) according to WHO data, February 2020
Note 2: Initial data indicate excess mortality in certain countries or regions, beyond the published death rate. It is therefore possible that the latter numbers, which are also listed in the table, underestimate the number of deaths related to the pandemic and are therefore too low. (As of April 2020)
Confirmed deaths (cumulative) according to WHO data, February 2020
↑ Listed are the deaths who died with and from SARS-CoV-2. Died with SARS-CoV-2 means that the person has died due to other causes, but there was also a positive result for SARS-CoV-2. Of deceased SARS-CoV-2 means that the person has died due to the disease reported.
(b) The figures for China include Hong Kong and Macau, minus Taiwan / Taipei.
(c)As not a member of the WHO, Taiwan is listed in the WHO statistics as a province of the People's Republic of China. As of the beginning of April, the WHO no longer reports any figures for Taiwan, so the figures for Taiwan are exceptionally from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control
(d) The number of accumulated infections worldwide and the number of new infections worldwide are contradictory on these days, but were taken from the WHO report.
(e)Behind "Japan - Internat. Carriage “the cruise ship Diamond Princess hides in Japanese waters, see the section Diamond Princess .
(f) The number of cumulative deaths worldwide and the number of new deaths worldwide are contradictory these days, but were taken from the WHO report.
(G)4 cases, which until February 24th under "Japan - Internat. Carriage ”have been reclassified to“ United Kingdom ”.
(H)To simplify understanding, the grouping of the countries is based on the German classification of natural and geographical regions and therefore differs from the regional classification of the WHO . The grouping in the table therefore has no information about the areas or routes of the epidemic.
↑ a b c Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) situation reports; Coronavirus disease (COVID-2019) situation reports. WHO, accessed in March 2020 (English, note on the number of cases: The WHO adopts the numbers of its member states according to a certain definition. From February 13 to 16, 2020, Report Nos. 24 to 27, WHO in addition to the cases confirmed with laboratory tests separate the cases confirmed by clinical diagnoses for the hardest-hit Hubei region in China, see article text. The figures shown include both types of cases. Up to March 17, 2020, the WHO report was up to 10:00 am CET reported cases, with Report No. 58 of March 18, 2020 this was changed to 00:00 CET, so that there is overlap with Report No. 57. Several sources and experts question the quality of the Chinese information (compare COVID- 19 pandemic ).).
