Covid-19 is continuing to spread around the world, with more than 192 million confirmed cases and more than four million deaths across nearly 200 countries.

The US, India and Brazil have seen the highest number of confirmed cases, followed by France, Russia, the UK and Turkey.

Very few places have been left untouched.

In the table below, countries can be reordered by deaths, death rate and total cases. In the coloured bars on the right-hand side, countries in which cases have risen to more than 10,000 per day are those with black bars on the relevant date.

Note: The map, table and animated bar chart in this page use a different source for figures for France and the UK from that used by Johns Hopkins University. US figures do not include Puerto Rico, Guam or the US Virgin Islands.

Confirmed cases have been rising steeply since the middle of last year, but the true extent of the first outbreaks in 2020 is unclear because testing was not then widely available.

The 100 millionth Covid case was recorded at the end of January - about a year after the first officially diagnosed case of the virus.

Deaths have also been rising, however official figures may not fully reflect the true number in many countries.

Data on excess deaths, a measure of how many more people are dying than would be expected based on the previous few years, may give a better indication of the actual numbers in many cases.

Several coronavirus vaccines have been approved for use, either by individual countries or groups of countries, such as the European Union and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Of the 194 countries and territories administering vaccines and publishing rollout data, 67 are high-income nations, 101 are middle-income and 26 low-income.

The map below, using figures collated by Our World in Data - a collaboration between Oxford University and an educational charity - shows the total number of doses given per 100 people, mostly first doses.

Overall, China and India have administered the highest number of doses, with about 1.5 billion and 417 million respectively. The US ranks third, with more than 339 million.

But when breaking the figures down by doses per 100 people in countries with a population of at least one million, the United Arab Emirates, Uruguay and Bahrain top the list.

Most countries are prioritising the over-60s, health workers and people who are clinically vulnerable.

Some countries have secured more vaccine doses than their populations need, while other lower-income countries are relying on a global plan known as Covax, which is seeking to ensure everyone in the world has access to a vaccine.

The number of daily cases is rising again in several regions.

Asia

Asia, which was the centre of the initial outbreak that spread from China in early 2020, has seen another rise in cases.

In India, the official death toll is more than 400,000, while it has recorded more than 30 million cases - second only to the US.

Elsewhere, Indonesia is recording an average of more than 40,000 new cases every day.

Bangladesh has re-imposed lockdown conditions until at least 5 August after a spike in cases.

Latin America

In Latin America, Brazil has recorded over 19 million cases and more than 500,000 deaths - the world's second highest official death toll.

Mexico has seen the fourth highest number of deaths in the world, with over 230,000, and is currently experiencing another surge in cases.

Peru now has the fifth highest toll with more than 190,000 deaths, but the highest number of deaths by population size - more than 600 deaths for every 100,000 people.

Europe

The UK, Spain and Russia are among the European countries seeing a rise in cases once again, driven by the Delta variant of the virus.

Russia is currently seeing more than 24,000 new cases every day and over 700 deaths - the highest daily death figures the country has seen since the pandemic began.

However, the pace of Europe's Covid-19 vaccination campaign has picked up and lockdowns have been eased in many countries.

North America

The US has recorded more than 34 million cases and over 600,000 deaths - the highest figures in the world.

Daily case numbers in the US fell in May and June but are on the rise again.

The death rate in Canada is far lower than its neighbour's and it is currently seeing a relatively low number of daily cases.

Middle East

Several countries in the Middle East have had severe outbreaks of the virus, with Iran and Iraq seeing the highest numbers of deaths.

Iran has the highest official death toll in the region and the country is currently seeing another rise in daily cases.

Israel has rolled out a highly successful vaccination programme, but has announced plans for new restrictions on access to public spaces.

Africa

Africa has seen more than six million cases and almost 160,000 deaths - but the true extent of the pandemic in many African countries is not known as testing rates are low.

South Africa, with more than 2.3 million cases and 68,000 deaths, is the worst affected country on the continent, according to official figures.

Morocco has recorded about 570,000 cases and Tunisia is not far behind with 560,000. Ethiopia and Egypt are both approaching 300,000 cases.

Oceania

Australia and New Zealand have been praised for their response to the pandemic, with both countries having seen comparatively few deaths.

But there is new concern in Australia where record cases of the Delta variant have prompted major cities, including Sydney, to go into lockdown.

About half the Australian population is under fresh lockdown restrictions.

New Zealand has announced that it is shutting down its quarantine-free travel bubble with Australia for two months.

Covid-19 was first detected in the city of Wuhan, China, in late 2019 but the outbreak spread quickly across the globe in the first months of 2020.

It was declared a global pandemic by the WHO on 11 March 2020.

A pandemic is when an infectious disease is passing easily from person to person in many parts of the world at the same time.

The data used on this page comes from a variety of sources. It includes figures collated by Johns Hopkins University, data from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, national governments and health agencies, as well as UN data on populations.

When comparing figures from different countries it is important to bear in mind that not all governments are recording coronavirus cases and deaths in the same way. This makes like for like comparisons between countries difficult.

Other factors to consider include: different population sizes, the size of a country's elderly population or whether a particular country has a large amount of its people living in densely-populated areas. In addition, countries may be in different stages of the pandemic.
