					<description><![CDATA[Since 31 December 2019, when the WHO was informed about the first cases in Wuhan, China, more than 250 million people are confirmed to have contracted COVID-19 (Coronavirus) from the SARS-CoV-2 virus and more than 5.1 million people have died (all figures last updated 21 November 2021).

The highest total number of deaths is recorded in the USA (759,388), followed by Brazil (611,851), India (465,082), Mexico (291,573) and Russia (261,589). Peru, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Italy and Iran complete the top 10. Most deaths in the past 7 days have been recorded in Russia (more than 8000), followed by USA and Ukraine. The highest death rate (per 100.000 inhabitants) has by far Peru with more than 600, followed by Bulgaria (388) and Bosnia and Herzegowina (371).

The highest number of cases is still recorded in the United States of America (more that 47 million), followed by India (34.5 million), Brazil (22 million), United Kingdom (9.7 million) and Russia (9.7 million). Turkey (8.5 million), France (7.1 million), Iran (6 million), Argentina (5.3 million) and  Germany (5.2 million) complete the top 10. The fourth wave starting in autumn has resulted in a rise of cases in most European countries, despite vaccinations.

					<description><![CDATA[The second year of the COVID-19 pandemic did not bring a change in terms of new infections: In <strong>January</strong> most cases are still registered in the USA (6.3 million), followed by Brazil (1.6 million) and - back in the Top 3 again -  the UK (1.3 million).

<strong>February</strong> saw only a slight shift, with the USA and Brazil keeping their top places - with 2.5 million and 1.3 million new cases respectively and France (550 thousand) moving up into the top 3. The numbers of new infections go considerably down in the countries with the fastest vaccination roll-out: the numbers for the US halved and the UK has only a quarter of the numbers from just the month before. Indonesia and Czech Republic are new in the top 10.

In <strong>March</strong> 2021 the downwards trend for new cases in the USA continues and Brazil moves to first place (2.1 million). The USA is still on second place (1.7 million), India now on third place, after their case numbers tripled compared to the month before. France, Italy, Poland, Turkey, Germany, Ukraine and Russia complete the top 10.

<strong>April</strong> brought a new variant of the virus, much more infectious, first called India variant, after the country where it first was detected (later changed to Delta variant) and that six-folded the new cases in India to 6.6 million. Runner ups were Brazil and USA, both just under 2 million new cases, followed by Turkey (tripled the new infections to 1.6 million), France, Argentina, Iran, Germany, Poland and Italy.

<strong>May</strong> did not bring any chances on the top, with India's new cases rising by another 30% to more than 9 million, Brazil staying roughly the same at just under 2 million while infections in the US cut by almost 50% to 1 million. Argentina and Colombia move into the top 5 with 80 thousand and 50 thousand new infections respectively. Turkey, Iran, France, Germany and Russia complete the top 10.

In <strong>June</strong> the spread of the virus is slowing down, there were 2.3 million new cases in India, 1.9 million in Brazil and 82 thousands in Colombia. Argentina, Russia complete the top 5 and with Indonesia and South Africa new countries moved into the top 10 (again).

<strong>July</strong> sees Brazil going back to the top of new confirmed COVID cases, with almost 1.4 million, followed by the US with 1.34 million and India with 1.2 million. Indonesia, UK, Russia, Spain, Iran, Colombia, Argentina and South Africa complete the top 10.

The highest numbers of deaths were now again registered in Brazil (40,405), followed by Indonesia (35,628) and India (25,356).

<p><em>Data sources<br />
</em>This map uses data by <a href="https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WHO</a> (accessed August 2021). We aim to map as complete data as possible and therefore estimate data for missing values. In some cases, missing data for very small territories is not used in the cartogram and that area is therefore omitted in the map.</p>
<p>Further notes on the data, as well as all modification to the original data source are noted in our data sheets. Data sheets will be available soon</p>
