Confirmed cases of novel coronavirus (also called the Wuhan coronavirus) now number at more than 34,000, so it’s still important to stay informed about cases around the world and in the United States. Here is a look at the confirmed cases, including maps of where the confirmed cases are around the world and in the U.S., and a look at where the deaths have been. One death has been recorded outside of China.
The World Health Organization has said that the number of cases could rise, CBS News reported.
There Are More Than 34,000 Confirmed Cases And More than 700 Deaths
As of February 8, 34,957 people have been confirmed to have the novel coronavirus (also called the Wuhan coronavirus or, technically, 2019-nCoV) according to BNO. There have been 725 fatalities, most in China except one. One death in the Philippines was reported on Saturday, February 1.
The following map of confirmed cases in the U.S. and worldwide was shared by BNO News. You may need to zoom into the map to see the cases in the United States, which so far number at two, or cases in other countries across the world.
Another map worldwide is being maintained here which tracks confirmed cases and deaths. The map pulls from WHO, CDC, NHC, and Dingxiangyuan sources and is being maintained by people with JHU.edu. Note that the “total recovered” number might be a bit misleading, as it doesn’t account for people who may never have needed to go to the hospital. The total deaths number is being kept updated with the most current numbers released.
Another map sourcing the most recent news about the virus can be found here.
Please note that none of the maps listed above are guaranteed to keep up with all the news as it breaks. Consult your local news for the most recent information about virus cases, confirmed or unconfirmed.
The CDC has also released a global map of cases around the world, last updated on February 7.
