New cases of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, are reported in the United States and around the world every day, but there’s a new way to stay updated constantly on where the disease has been reported.
The Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases map by The Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University is tracking the spread of the disease in close to real time. It updates several times an hour, and includes a zoomable map pinpointing every confirmed case in the world to the county level.
“In response to this ongoing public health emergency, we developed an online dashboard … to visualize and track reported cases in real-time.,” says a blog about the project on the CSSE website.
