‡‡Many countries are not recommending laboratory tests for all suspect cases, the affected numbers have been put in brackets. Comparisons in time or between these countries should not be made.
The number of confirmed cases is lower than the total number of cases, and may grossly underestimate the true infection rate.
|
| ^Includes Puerto Rico (695 cases, 45 deaths), Guam (338 cases, 2 deaths), American Samoa (85 cases, 1 death), U.S. Virgin Islands (80 cases, 1 death), and Northern Mariana Islands (6 cases).
|
| #Does not include Overseas Territories or Crown Dependencies.
|
| ~Includes New Caledonia (500 cases, 9 deaths), French Polynesia (183 cases, 7 deaths), Réunion (759 cases, 7 deaths), Mayotte (164 cases, 2 deaths), Martinique (261 cases, 1 death), French Guiana (213 cases, 1 death), Guadeloupe (197 cases, 5 deaths), Saint Martin (62 cases), Wallis and Futuna (55 cases), Saint-Barthélemy (2 cases).
|
| +Includes Aruba (13 cases) and the Netherlands Antilles (98 cases).
|
|
As the pandemic progressed, laboratory testing and confirmation decreased. Confirmed figures for the United Kingdom, in particular, are only meaningful up to 2 July, when routine testing stopped and presumed cases were treated without laboratory confirmation of diagnosis. Following the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), many countries stopped issuing estimates of the infected population, making this list inaccurate.
