Covid map: Coronavirus cases, deaths, vaccinations by country

Covid-19 is continuing to spread around the world, with more than 300 million confirmed cases and more than five million deaths reported across almost 200 countries.

The US, India and Brazil have seen the highest number of confirmed cases, followed by the UK, France and Russia.

Very few places have been left untouched.

In the table below, countries can be reordered by deaths, death rate and total cases. In the coloured bars on the right-hand side, countries in which cases have risen to more than 10,000 per day are those with black bars on the relevant date.

The true extent of the first outbreak in 2020 is unclear because testing was not then widely available.

Deaths are rising in some areas, however official figures may not fully reflect the true number in many countries.

Data on excess deaths, a measure of how many more people are dying than would be expected based on the previous few years, may give a better indication of the actual numbers in many cases.

Who has vaccinated the most?

Nearly every nation in the world is now administering vaccines and publishing rollout data, while at least 89 countries and territories have moved on to booster jabs.

The map below, using figures collated by Our World in Data - a collaboration between Oxford University and an educational charity - shows the total number of doses given per 100 people, mostly first doses.

According to that data, about 60% of people have been fully vaccinated on every continent apart from Africa, where the figure is less than 10%.

Some countries have secured more vaccine doses than their populations need, while other lower-income countries are relying on a global plan known as Covax, which is seeking to ensure everyone in the world has access to a vaccine.

Of those countries that have moved on to booster campaigns, Chile, Denmark and Bahrain have currently vaccinated the highest proportion of people.

Where are cases still high?

The number of daily cases has begun to rise again in most regions now, due in part to the new Omicron variant.

Studies suggest that Omicron - which has quickly become dominant in numerous countries - is milder than the Delta variant, but far more contagious.

The Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said the "tsunami of cases is so huge and quick, that it is overwhelming health systems around the world".

Asia

Asia, which was the centre of the initial outbreak that spread from Wuhan in China in early 2020, is starting to see case numbers increase once more.

There are fears that a sharp rise in daily cases in India could be a sign that a third wave will hit in the country in the coming weeks.

The official death toll in India is more than 480,000 and it has recorded more than 35 million cases - second only to the US.

In China, authorities in the port city of Tianjin are aiming to test 14 million residents after the discovery of a cluster of Covid cases, including two people with the Omicron variant.

China has responded to small numbers of local cases with mass testing and tight lockdowns and overall numbers remain low.

Europe

Several European countries have increased the scale of their vaccine and booster campaigns after seeing a spike in infections due to the Omicron variant.

France, Spain and Italy are experiencing a rapid increase in infections, with France currently seeing more daily cases on average than anywhere else in Europe.

The UK has also seen another spike in cases but hospitalisations and deaths have been greatly reduced due to its vaccination rollout.

North America

The US has recorded more than 60 million cases and over 830,000 deaths - the highest figures in the world - and it is now seeing a renewed surge in infections.

Dr Anthony Fauci, the country's chief adviser on infectious disease, has warned the country is now facing "almost a vertical increase" in cases, which may not peak for weeks.

The death rate in Canada is far lower than its neighbour's but it is also seeing a rise in the number of daily cases at the moment due to the Omicron variant.

Latin America

In Latin America, the number of new cases in the worst-hit countries had been falling recently, but cases appear to be on the rise again in many places.

Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Peru are among the countries seeing an uptick in infections at the moment.

Brazil has been the worst-hit country in the region, recording more than 22 million cases and 620,000 deaths - the world's second highest official death toll.

In Peru, there have been more than 200,000 deaths and the country has the highest number of deaths by population size - more than 600 deaths for every 100,000 people.

Africa

Africa has seen at least 10 million cases and more than 230,000 deaths - but the true extent of the pandemic across the continent is not known as testing rates are low.

According to the official figures, South Africa has been the worst-hit country with more than 3.5 million confirmed cases and nearly 100,000 deaths.

South Africa was the first country to identify the new Omicron variant and it led to a sharp increase in infections - although the government says this fourth wave has now peaked and numbers are falling.

Several African nations are currently experiencing a rise in cases, including Morocco, Botswana and Burundi.

Middle East

Several countries in the Middle East have seen severe outbreaks of the virus since the pandemic began.

The official death toll in Iran, the region's worst-hit country, is more than 130,000 and it has seen more than six million confirmed cases. Neighbouring Iraq has seen nearly 25,000 deaths and more than two million confirmed cases. Daily infections, however, are currently falling in both countries.

Israel currently has the highest number of daily cases in the region but its vaccination rollout has been highly successful at minimising the number of hospitalisations and deaths in the country. It has now begun administering a fourth vaccine dose to people aged over 60 and to healthcare workers.

Oceania

Australia is currently seeing its highest level of Covid cases since the pandemic began.

The country lifted most of its restrictions in December but the Omicron variant has fuelled a surge in cases - now averaging over 79,000 confirmed infections a week.

Early in the pandemic, Australia and New Zealand were widely praised for their response to Covid.

So far, Australia has seen more than a million confirmed cases and about 2,400 deaths, while there have been 14,700 cases in New Zealand and only 51 deaths.

How did coronavirus spread?

Covid-19 was first detected in the city of Wuhan, China, in late 2019 but the outbreak spread quickly across the globe in the first months of 2020.

It was declared a global pandemic by the WHO on 11 March 2020.

A pandemic is when an infectious disease is passing easily from person to person in many parts of the world at the same time.

About this data

The data used on this page comes from a variety of sources. It includes figures collated by Johns Hopkins University as well as national governments and health agencies.

When comparing figures from different countries it is important to bear in mind that not all governments are recording coronavirus cases and deaths in the same way. This makes like for like comparisons between countries difficult.

Other factors to consider include: different population sizes, the size of a country's elderly population or whether a particular country has a large amount of its people living in densely-populated areas. In addition, countries may be in different stages of the pandemic.

The map, table and animated bar chart in this page use a different source for figures for France and the UK from that used by Johns Hopkins University. US figures do not include Puerto Rico, Guam or the US Virgin Islands.
