If you'd like to see a real-time map of where there are COVID-19 outbreaks around the globe, John Hopkins University has created a regularly updated map with granular information down to the city level.

The map has been set up and maintained since January, long before the rapid increase of the virus in the US.

Now, the map shows real-time confirmed cases globally.

Starting today, the maps dashboard now displays the numbers of confirmed cases and fatalities for each local jurisdiction in an effort to best inform the public and to aid health care and emergency workers responding to the crisis'.

Users will be able to view state by state totals. They will also have the ability to view cases in other countries by toggling within the interactive map.

The overall number of cases globally will be tracked via line graph with daily increases show on a bar graph.

The researchers who built and maintain the map are housed in the Whiting School of Engineering Center for Systems Science and Engineering and are led by Professor Lauren Garnder.
