Abstract
Background: The surge of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID −19) outbreak was turned to a pandemic with hundreds and thousands of cases reported globally. The number of cases dramatically increased from early March 2020. Aim: We assessed the cumulative change in the incidence and case−fatality rate of COVID −19 at global, regional, and national levels from January to March 16, 2020, across 154 affected countries and territories globally. Methods: We collected data of COVID −19 cases using the GitHub repository, that provided support to realtime surveillance information developed by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE), Johns Hopkins University, USA.
