Update for Dec. 8
- Countries around the world tightened restrictions on international travel and public life. The policies are intended to curb the fast-spreading new Omicron variant of the coronavirus and to increase pressure on people to get vaccinated.
- Just two weeks after it was announced to the world, Omicron has reached dozens of countries and almost half the states in the U.S. Experts caution that it is too soon to reach conclusions about the new variant, but early reports from South Africa, where Omicron is prevalent, indicate that it spreads faster than previous variants but may cause less serious illness.
- Germany became the second Western democracy, after Austria, to shut unvaccinated people out of much of public life, requiring proof of vaccination or of recent recovery from Covid to visit most stores, restaurants and other indoor spaces. Europe is suffering through its biggest wave of cases yet, and there are fears that Omicron will prolong it.
- About 57 percent of the world’s population has received at least one vaccine dose, but the rates remain far lower in many poor countries, including many in Africa. Track each country’s vaccination progress here.

About the data
Data for all countries except the United States comes from the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. United States data comes from state and local health officials and is collected by The New York Times. Population data from the World Bank and U.S. Census Bureau. Data for some countries, like the United States, Denmark, France and the Netherlands, include counts for overseas territories. The New York Times has found that official tallies in more than thirty countries have undercounted deaths during the coronavirus outbreak because of limited testing availability.
The Times has identified reporting anomalies or methodology changes in the data.
More about reporting anomalies or changes
- July 20, 2021: Ecuador added a backlog of deaths from 2020.
- Dec. 25, 2020: Several countries did not publish data on Dec. 25.
- Dec. 10, 2020: Turkey announced the total number of reported cases, including asymptomatic cases since the end of July, reaching more than 1.7 million cases.
Confirmed cases and deaths, which are widely considered to be an undercount of the true toll, are counts of individuals whose coronavirus infections were confirmed by a molecular laboratory test. Probable cases and deaths count individuals who meet criteria for other types of testing, symptoms and exposure, as developed by national and local governments.
Governments often revise data or report a single-day large increase in cases or deaths from unspecified days without historical revisions, which can cause an irregular pattern in the daily reported figures. The Times is excluding these anomalies from seven-day averages when possible. For agencies that do not report data every day, variation in the schedule on which cases or deaths are reported, such as around holidays, can also cause an irregular pattern in averages. The Times uses an adjustment method to vary the number of days included in an average to remove these irregularities.
