Distribution: Selected Resources
Updated December 2, 2021
The ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused millions of cases and deaths,
according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The resources below provide information on
tracking the international spread of the virus and global efforts to control it through vaccine distribution,
diagnostic supplies, and therapeutics.
These resources are not a comprehensive list of global COVID-19 data sources. They are a starting point
that may help congressional staff find resources for frequently requested data. Some links may work best
with the internet browsers Chrome and Firefox.
Readers may consider using caution when comparing data across sources, time frames, and geographies,
as each resource may have differing methodologies and definitions that may change over time. For
assistance in interpreting or analyzing these data, congressional staff may reach out to the Congressional
Research Service (CRS) (202-707-5700, or place a research request at the CRS website).
