As of April 3, Italy and Spain together make up almost half of all confirmed deaths globally (13,915 and 10,348, respectively), while each country has also surpassed 110,000 confirmed cases. Across Europe, ten countries are reporting more than 10,000 cases, while seven countries have reported over 1,000 deaths. Many European countries are also reporting alarmingly high Case Fatality Rates over 5%. Including Italy (12%), Netherlands and Spain (9.1%), UK (8.7%), France (7.1%), Belgium (6.6%), and Sweden (5.2%). This has been partly attributed to selective testing strategies in these countries, while widespread testing is likely contributing to relatively low CFR rate in countries like Germany (1.2%) and Austria (1.4%). The European CDC has nonetheless warned that current testing capacity and if countries do not enact mitigation strategies, Europe could see a scenario similar to China by the middle of April.

The numbers continue to surge in the U.S., with at least 6,098 reported deaths and 245,442 confirmed cases, accounting for almost a quarter of all worldwide cases. New York State has become the epicentre of the outbreak with almost 100,000 confirmed cases, while the U.S. reported over 1,000 deaths for the second day in a row. In Canada, the number of confirmed cases has also increased to 11,283, including 173 reported deaths. With the outbreak expected to spread more widely across the continent over the next two weeks, there are increasing concerns over health care system capacities. The number of cases in South and Central American countries continue to grow, with reported cases in Brazil continuing to jump almost 20% a day to 8,044, while Chile and Ecuador have seen spikes to 3,404 and 3,163 cases, respectively.

In addition to wide-spread reports of food shortages in India, the nationwide 21-day lockdown has led to a mass exodus of hundreds of thousands of people from major urban areas, increasing the risk of local transmission in rural parts of the country.

There is concern that the true outbreak size in India may be significantly higher than the 2,567 confirmed cases, which has doubled in just two days.

The UN Office for the Coordination for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has issued a $2 billion appeal for a Coordinated Global Humanitarian Response Plan to support rapid mobilization of essential medical equipment, public information campaigns, water and sanitation stations, and airbridges and logistics hubs to assist with the movement of supplies and humanitarian workers.

Over 2,304 cases and 99 deaths have been reported across 19 humanitarian sites, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA). There are major concerns of excessive restrictions on points of entry, according to the (IOM), limiting mobility and the delivery of essential goods. Humanitarian agencies, including the International Committee Red Cross (ICRC) and (MSF) have urged countries to ensure the protection of vulnerable groups, including internally displaced persons as well as asylum seekers, and to ensure access to essential goods such as medical equipment and food supplies, as the World Food Programme (WFP) is warning of anticipated food shortages.

Over 3,015 cases and 126 deaths have been reported across 21 humanitarian sites, according to UNOCHA.

Countries are increasingly adopting the WHO’s main advice to “test, test, test,” with total number of tests performed increasing 42% over the past week, as of April 1. Limited availability of diagnostic kits and laboratories in many low- and middle-income countries remain a critical concern and is almost certainly masking more widespread local transmission.

Similar to prior pandemics, high initial Case Fatality Rates for COVID-19 are expected to trend downwards over time as countries adopt more wide-spread population testing (i.e. recording those dying with as opposed to from the virus). This is reflected in these CFR figures (in order of countries with the highest number of deaths), as of 3 April: Italy (12%), Spain (9.1%), U.S. (2.4%), France (7.1%), China (4.1%), Iran (6.3%)

A number of countries including Iran, China and Japan are also increasingly facing questions about official reports of case counts and mortality figures, as modelling estimates and informal proxy indicators (e.g. total mortality, demand for funeral services, local and social media accounts, etc.) suggest real figures may be significantly higher. There is likewise concern that the true outbreak size in India may be significantly higher than the 2,567 confirmed cases, which has doubled in just two days.

The pandemic continues to grow exponentially. As of March 25, It took only 6 days for the global case number to double from 200,000 to over 400,000 (and 2 days from 300,000 to 400,000).

At least 650,567 cases and 30,299 deaths have been reported in 199 countries as of March 28 at 2:30pm EST. Europe and the U.S. account for almost two thirds of all cases globally.  There is growing alarm, however, as case reports are increasing in many low- and middle-income countries.

At least 46 countries across Africa have reported COVID-19 cases, recording more than 4,136 confirmed cases and 128 deaths.

Five countries are experiencing local transmission: South Africa, Algeria, Burkina Faso, Senegal, and Cameroon. All but six countries in the region have reported local infections in contacts of imported cases. The WHO said many of the cases are still linked to travel and that the region still has a window of opportunity to contain the disease.

South Africa reported more than a quarter of the continent’s cases (1,187), with Northern African countries Egypt (576), Algeria 155 new cases, bringing its total case number to 709. Algeria (302 cases) and Burkina Faso (146 cases) are the other 2 worst-hit countries in the region.

While China has virtually interrupted local transmission, it remains the third leading country with 81,340 confirmed cases and 3,292 reported deaths. Imported cases are on the rise and there are small numbers of locally acquired cases periodically being reported. Authorities have indicated that China will end its lockdown of most of Hubei province while Wuhan will remain under lockdown for another ten days.

Several Asian-Pacific countries have seen overnight changes or escalating reports: Thailand, Hong Kong, India, Philippines, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Singapore.

South Korea has slowly decreased daily new case counts to around 100-150 since March 12, although they have reported an increase in imported cases.

The number of cases and deaths in Iran keep growing with total number of cases increasing to 32,332 and the death toll is 2,926. More than half of all Iranian government employees are staying home as part of measures to contain the outbreak. The government has not imposed any travel ban or lockdowns. The significant translocation of the population for the Persian New Year holidays is of concern as it may lead to continued intra-country/provincial exportations of the virus.

As of April 3, Italy and Spain together make up almost half of all confirmed deaths globally (13,915 and 10,348, respectively), while each country has also surpassed 110,000 confirmed cases. Across Europe, ten countries are reporting more than 10,000 cases, while seven countries have reported over 1,000 deaths. Many European countries are also reporting alarmingly high Case Fatality Rates over 5%. Including Italy (12%), Netherlands and Spain (9.1%), UK (8.7%), France (7.1%), Belgium (6.6%), and Sweden (5.2%). This has been partly attributed to selective testing strategies in these countries, while widespread testing is likely contributing to relatively low CFR rate in countries like Germany (1.2%) and Austria (1.4%). The European CDC has nonetheless warned that current testing capacity and if countries do not enact mitigation strategies, Europe could see a scenario similar to China by the middle of April.
