Coronavirus (COVID-19) Data by Country

With Coronavirus taking the center stage of our attention these days, it can be somewhat difficult to keep track of the virus’ spread especially considering the unpleasant amount of fake news and non-accurate reporting.

Thankfully, there are a couple of tools you can use to track the evolution of the situation, one of which is Coronavirus (COVID-19) Data by Country. As its name clearly states, this tool is all about providing you with an accurate number of cases in your country, and it does so by using your Chrome browser as a platform.

Before we go even further, it’s important to note that the extension is actually based on the web-based dashboard developed by the Center of System Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.

The dashboard itself provides the data to the public strictly for educational and academic research purposes, and it pulls data various important sources such as the World Health Organization’s website, centers for disease control in the US, China, and Europa, state and national government health departments, as well as local media reports.

The extension itself is quite straightforward: it displays the total number of confirmed cases in any selected country alongside the number of recoveries and deaths, and that’s basically about it. From the upper section of the compact GUI, you can select the country that interests you.

Another little detail that is quite nice is the fact that the extension displays the number of confirmed cases in the selected country via a simple icon badge, meaning you don’t have to actually access its GUI to get an idea about the situation.

To conclude, Coronavirus (COVID-19) Data by Country does a good job of keeping you well informed regarding the coronavirus situation in your country. It’s way simpler than most other Chrome extensions that do the same job, which can be considered an advantage by some.
