A new COVID-19 milestone was reached on 16 September 2020 as the number of COVID-19 cases exceeded 30 million cases worldwide. It took five months from January to June to reach the first 10 million cases, then six weeks to reach 20 million cases, and five weeks and three days to reach 30 million cases.

Move the mouse cursor over the chart to see the underlying numbers.
Small numbers with decimals between 0 and 1 (e.g. 0.1) are used to make zeroes visible on a logarithmic scale.
Decimals are also added to the y-value of data points that have exactly the same x and y values as other data point(s), in order to distinguish them on the chart.
The data point of each country shows where the country is on the Cases Trajectory:
- The horizontal axis shows the total number of COVID-19 cases. This number stays the same when there are no new cases and goes up when new cases are reported. It will never go down.
- The vertical axis shows the moving average of New (daily) COVID-19 cases in the past seven (7) days. This number will go up when an increasing number of new cases were reported in the past 7 days and will go down when the number of reported cases has decreased in the past 7 days. When no new cases have been reported in the past 7 days, this number will go down to zero. As zero values cannot be shown on the logarithmic scale of the vertical axis, zero values are replaced with “0.1” or a lower value e.g. “0.09”. The lowest significant value above zero is “0.14”, which is the daily average of one new case in the past seven days.
A country that is successful in reducing the spread of the disease will have a low value on the vertical axis, and the data point will be positioned near or at the bottom of the chart.
