The deadly coronavirus continues to spread across the globe, and you can use an online dashboard to keep up with all reported cases. The John Hopkins University and Medicine Center for Systems Science and Engineering built a tool pulling in data from the World Health Organization, as well as the centers for disease control in the US, China and Europe and governments across the globe. It shows all confirmed, suspected, recovered and deceased coronavirus patients, as well as how many people have been tested.

Coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan, China, has so far killed 169,000 people and infected 2.47 million people as of 4:30 p.m. PT on April 20, according to the dashboard.

The 10 countries with the highest case count are the US with 783,000; Spain with 200,000; Italy with 181,000; France with 156,000; Germany with 146,000; the UK with 125,000; Turkey with 90,000; mainland China with 83,000; Iran with 83,000; and Russia with 47,000. The dashboard shows the virus has spread to 185 countries.

The US has the highest death toll, at over 41,800. Around 4 million people in the US have been tested. Italy has reported 24,100 fatalities; Spain 20,800; France 20,200; the UK 16,500; Belgium 5,800; Iran 5,200; Germany 4,700; and China 4,600 fatalities.

The outbreak was first reported to the World Health Organization on Dec. 31, 2019, with Chinese scientists linking the illness to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses that include the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).
