Supplementary notes

For this statistic, numbers reported by Johns Hopkins University were used. Note that numbers can change fast, sometimes within minutes, after they show on this platform. Some countries report openly that numbers are not complete, due to testing capacity, so numbers can by definition not be complete. Additionally, the numbers shown here are not an automated update but a manual one. It's Statista's policy to update these numbers at least once per day, but we strive to do this more frequently than that.



² The source reports the numbers for the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands and Denmark with additional territories included. For example, the overall number for France includes Martinique and Quadeloupe whereas the source included Curacao, Aruba and (the Dutch part of) Saint Martin in the numbers for the Netherlands. This was also true for the United States, which includes numbers for Guam, Puerto Rico, the (U.S.) Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands. To avoid confusion, these additional dependencies have been excluded in the table provided here: the UK, France, Netherlands, Denmark and the US only refer to the main countries (or the 50 states, in the case of the United States).



The source changed its methodology for the United States on March 24, 2020, as it switched from data collection via states to data collection via counties.



On the morning of March 28, 2020, Australia's death toll briefly showed over 450 deaths, an increase from the reported 14 until then. After review, this number was not used as it was seemingly caused by a misclassification in one of the states. This was confirmed later on the day.
