Case Report
First is a graph showing new cases that have been reported to the state every day for the past 30 days. This is based on the fact that a confirmed coronavirus test is reported to the state, which means that the patient first became ill days before.
You can call up a chart for each country and place your cursor over a bar to see the date and number of cases.
(In some cases, a state reported a negative number (decrease) in daily new cases, following a reclassification by the Department of Health and Human Services in Michigan. In such cases, we deducted cases from the previous date and 0 in reported date.)
The following graph below shows new cases for the past 30 days based on the onset of symptoms. In this graph, the numbers for the past few days are incomplete due to the delay time between people getting sick and getting a confirmed coronavirus test result, which can last up to a week or longer.
