Coronavirus Country Profiles
Which countries are doing better and which are doing worse? We built 207 country profiles which allow you to explore the statistics on the coronavirus pandemic for every country in the world.
Each profile includes interactive visualizations, explanations of the presented metrics, and the details on the sources of the data.
Every country profile is updated daily.
Every profile includes four sections
- Deaths: How many deaths from Coronavirus have been reported? Is the number of deaths still increasing? How does the death rate compare to other countries?
- Testing: How much testing for coronavirus do countries conduct? When did they start and how does it compare with other countries?
- Cases: How many cases were confirmed? How many tests did a country do to find one COVID-19 case? And is your country bending the curve?
- Government responses: What measures did countries take in response to the pandemic?
See how your country is affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and how it compares to others:

This is our new Coronavirus Data Explorer. It brings together our global data on testing for COVID-19, and the counts of confirmed cases and deaths.
Each metric can be seen in a straightforward line chart or in our trajectory charts, which align all countries at the start of the outbreak (here is how to read them). You can also switch to world maps for every metric, simply choose the Map tab below the chart.

What the data can and cannot tell us about the pandemic
Without data we can not understand the pandemic. Only based on good data can we know how the disease is spreading, what impact the pandemic has on the lives of people around the world, and whether the counter measures countries are taking are successful or not.
But even the best available data on the coronavirus pandemic is far from perfect.
In dedicated pages we present the latest data together with detailed explanations of what we can learn from this data: where does the data come from? What are the limitations that we need to be aware of? And what does the data tell us about the coronavirus pandemic?
