Our World in Covid-19

Covid-19 does not only infecting Australians. The whole world is under its threat.

You can understand the pandemic in a global perspective from various websites.

Our World in Data and the SDG-Tracker are collaborative efforts between researchers at the University of Oxford, who are the scientific editors of the website content; and the non-profit organization Global Change Data Lab, who publishes and maintains the website and the data tools that make our work possible. The project is funded by donations and grants.

Our World in Data produces the most comprehensive research and data presentation about how Covid-19 spread in every countries in this website.

In here you can know how Covid-19 spread in each countries according to time.

“Only if we end the pandemic everywhere can we end the pandemic anywhere.” The entire world has the same goal: cases of COVID-19 need to go to zero.

The chart below shows which countries are making progress to this goal and which are not.

The trajectories show the daily number of confirmed cases. But the widely available data on confirmed cases only becomes meaningful when it can be interpreted in light of how much a country is testing. This is why Our World in Data built the global database on COVID-19 testing and the line colours in this chart show whether a country is testing adequately or not.

A country is not testing adequately when it is finding a case for every few tests they perform. Here it is likely that the true number of new cases is much higher than the number of cases that were confirmed by tests. When the positive rate of tests is high the line is shown in shades of red.

Blue lines mean that a country does many tests for each case it finds; the testing effort in these countries is adequate.

To be safe anywhere, every region in the world needs to make progress against the pandemic – and this means dark blue lines hitting zero.

Progress is possible – some countries bent the curve of new cases and are monitoring the outbreak well. But globally we are very far from the goal and the global number of confirmed cases is rising extremely fast.
