How I'm Staying Updated on Coronavirus News

There’s so much coverage regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) right now that I want to share with you my go-to resources/links to help me stay up-to-date on coronavirus news.

1. Live Counts

John Hopkins Interactive Map

For live counts, I head to the interactive map by John Hopkins Univerisity which shows the confirmed cases, deaths and recoveries. For Canada, you can even drill down the data by province.

Worldometer

Aside from the John Hopkins interactive map, I like to look at the coronavirus data from Worldometer. They seem to be a bit faster at updating the data than John Hopkins. I also like the fact that they show the change in new cases and they provide more details about specific cases at the end of the page.
