COVID-19 Resources

In a matter of months, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become one of the most discussed topics all over the world.

Being an ongoing pandemic, the number of affected countries, people, deaths, and recoveries related to the virus is changing at a fast pace. Most of the countries involved report daily updates regarding the situation.
