Some countries are currently experiencing a rapid rise in new cases. In others, the rate of growth has slowed after leaders have instituted nationwide lockdowns, leading to a battered world economy.

While the outbreak is a serious public health concern, most people who contract the coronavirus do not become seriously ill, and only a small percentage require intensive care. Older people and those with existing health conditions, like heart or lung disease, are at higher risk.

United States
The number of known coronavirus cases in the United States continues to grow quickly. As of Wednesday afternoon, at least 822,000 people across every state, plus Washington, D.C., and four U.S. territories, have tested positive for the virus, according to a New York Times database, and at least 41,000 patients with the virus have died.

The New York Times is engaged in an effort to track the details of every confirmed case in the United States, collecting information from federal, state and local officials around the clock. The numbers in this article are being updated several times a day based on the latest information our journalists are gathering from around the country. The Times has made that data public in hopes of helping researchers and policymakers as they seek to slow the pandemic and prevent future ones.
Europe
As the coronavirus pandemic surges across Europe, there are now more total confirmed cases outside of China than inside China, the country where the virus first spread. Many European cases have been traced back to Italy, which has one of the world’s largest outbreaks. In Italy and Spain, more than 150,000 people have tested positive.
Asia
The outbreak is believed to have begun in central China, and its early spread has been linked to people who went to a seafood and poultry market in Wuhan, a city of 11 million people. The virus appears to spread easily, especially in confined spaces, making containment efforts difficult. Scientists and public health experts are still trying to understand how many people who contract the virus will die, but some early estimates put the fatality rate at roughly 1 percent.
The precise dimensions of the outbreak are hard to know. Not all infected people have received a diagnosis, and some countries, like Singapore, have more proactive testing and containment efforts than others do.
