Navigating the map

The data for reported confirmed cases (yellow) and deaths (black) is displayed as concentric circles for all countries, and on a state and county level where available. We have removed the metric from the first version of this COVID-19 tracker. The size of the circle represents the amount of cases in one location. In the panel on the left you can choose a country from the drop-down menu, see a total global number of confirmed cases and deaths as well as see the daily new cases and new deaths. By selecting a country, the view of those numbers will represent the situation for the chosen geography.

The timeline in the left-hand side panel represents the spread of the virus in the past weeks and months. With the help of the controller you can navigate through time and display the reported cases and deaths for a given date. The data can be seen as a curve of total confirmed cases and daily reported cases – on a global and country level.
