Coronavirus by the numbers

As Tennessee begins to try to get back some sense of normalcy, fears continue among residents about the Coronavirus threat.

The data changes rapidly and might not reflect some cases still being reported. Cases only include people who were tested and confirmed positive. Testing rules and availability vary by country. Some areas may not have data because they haven’t published their data or haven’t done so recently. Data comes from Wikipedia, and cases are constantly updated from resources around the world. Daily situation reports are also available on the World Health Organization website. There are various sources that are tracking and aggregating coronavirus data. They update at different times and may have different ways of gathering data.
