Coronavirus is everywhere in the world. Currently, the epicenter is located in Europe, even though it all started in China, which is now considered a medium-high region for the virus. The United States is in the medium range, while Italy is in the extremely high range. Three countries are in the highest category.

The world is united. This question and worry are in everyone’s mind and COVID-19 has crippled the globe. The virus destroyed the global travel and tourism industry threatening hundreds of thousands of companies and millions of job worldwide.ย  Even the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) wants people to stay home and enjoy travel later.

Most prominent reports that count the number of sick per country may not be the best way to measure the impact per country. How bad the virus is currently in your country?

The number of cases per 1 million population is a better way to measure.
