The 2019 Novel Coronavirus came at a time when the world was eager for a unique year 2020, some hoping it brings good tidings, some saying it’s a lucky number. Before the end of the first quarter in 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. 

The effect of this in our world is massive; infection rates and deaths increasing daily, people losing loved ones, panic buying of food and essential home items, social distancing and loss of jobs. The pandemic is definitely one that this generation will not forget anytime soon

In order to put the numbers into better perspective visually, this dashboard was created to provide information on the recent developments of COVID-19 globally using the COVID-19 dataset over a period of 16 months from Our world in data hub (https://ourworldindata.org website).
