Cumulative cases of COVID-19 worldwide from Jan. 22, 2020 to Mar. 16, 2021, by day

As of March 16, 2021, there have been almost 121 million cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide. The disease has impacted more than 210 countries and territories, with the United States confirming around one-fifth of all global cases.

COVID-19: An unprecedented crisis

Health systems around the world have been overwhelmed by the number of coronavirus cases, and even the richest and most prepared countries have struggled. In the most vulnerable countries, millions of people have not had access to critical life-saving supplies, such as test kits, face masks, and respirators. However, there is now a light at the end of the tunnel: Several vaccines have been approved for use, and more than 390 million vaccine doses had already been administered worldwide as of March 17, 2021.

The coronavirus in the United Kingdom

More than 125,500 people have died from COVID-19 in the UK, which is the highest number in Europe. The tireless work of the National Health Service (NHS) has been applauded, but the country’s response to the crisis has drawn criticism. The UK was slow to start widespread testing, and the launch of a COVID-19 contact tracing app was delayed by months. However, the UK’s rapid vaccine rollout has been a success story, and more than 20 million people had received at least one vaccine dose as of February 28, 2021.
