As coronavirus continues to spread across the globe, tens of thousands of people have been infected in dozens of countries. The disease, known as COVID-19, originated in China, which has the highest number of confirmed cases to date, but it is now impacting every continent except Antarctica.
Track the spread of the deadly virus with the maps and charts below, which will update daily with the latest data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other sources compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
