Tracking the global coronavirus outbreak

Coronavirus is continuing its spread across the world with more than 60 million confirmed cases in 190 countries and more than 1.4 million deaths.

The virus is surging in many regions and countries that had apparent success in suppressing initial outbreaks are also seeing infections rise again.

US has most cases and highest death toll

The US has recorded almost 13 million cases and more than 260,000 deaths from coronavirus, the highest figures in the world.

Daily cases have been at record levels since early November and there are now more than 90,000 people in hospital, more than in either of the two previous peaks of the pandemic.

Europe cases level off

Daily cases have risen in many European countries since July.

France has recorded more than two million cases; Spain, Italy, Germany and the UK have all recorded more than one million cases. but all their numbers have either stabilised or started to fall in recent days.

Second or third rise in cases in some countries

Japan is on “maximum alert” after seeing a record number of daily cases in a third wave of infections. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga urged people to do all they could to prevent new infections.

The number of new deaths in Japan, however, has remained relatively low. Other countries that have seen a resurgence of the virus include Turkey, Canada and Russia.
