The numbers presented here represent official counts of where and how fast COVID-19 is spreading.

While counts like these can tell us a great deal about how the virus is spreading and whether or not we are successfully 'flattening the curve', they have their limitations. It is likely that many people with COVID-19 are not reflected in the numbers because they were asymptomatic or not officially counted for some reason.

Testing may also be uneven between jurisdictions. If one jurisdiction has tested more people or is using a more effective test, they likely have a more accurate picture of the spread of the virus.
