‘New google map is coloured by numbers of cases per 100,000 people over the past 14 days and shows the severity of outbreak by the number of people in each location.’

“It’s coloured by numbers of cases per 100,000 people over the past 14 days and shows you the severity of outbreak by the number of people in each location, making it easier to compare where you live to the world as a whole, said Simon Rogers, Data Editor, Google News Lab.
Earlier this year, the team launched a US version of the map.
The new version expands that embeddable view across the globe through data for 176 countries in addition to the US, plus additional state and regional data for 18 countries.
The team has used Google Translate so the experience can be viewed in more than 80 languages.
