Overview
Due to the lack of data, the exact incidence rate of coronavirus infections can not be approximated. With 8,098 confirmed cases, the case fatality-rate of SARS was 9.6%. With 2465 laboratory-confirmed cases, the case fatality-rate of MERS was 34.4%. The case fatality-rate of SARS-CoV-2 in the first 99 patients at a Wuhan hospital (the epicenter of the outbreak) has been found to be 11%.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- Due to the lack of data, the exact incidence rate of coronavirus infections can not be approximated.
Prevalance
- From June 2012 to April 2018, MERS-CoV infection was prevalent in 2206 people globally.
- To date, 100,330 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have emerged.

Case-fatality rate
- With 8,098 confirmed cases, the case fatality-rate of SARS was 9.6%.[2]
- With 2465 laboratory-confirmed cases, the case fatality-rate of MERS was 34.4%.
- The case fatality-rate of COVID-19 in the first 99 patients at a Wuhan hospital (the epicenter of the outbreak) has been found to be 11%.[3]
- In a different study comprising of 138 patients infected with COVID-19, the mortality has been established to be 4.3%.[4]
Age
- Patients of all age groups can develop the disease.
- In multiple cohorts of patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19, the median age is established to range from 49 to 56 years.[5][6][7]
Race
- Coronavirus infections affect all races.
Gender
- Coronavirus infections affect men and women equally.
- In a recent study, SARS-CoV-2 has been found to have infected males more than females.[8]
Region
- Majority of the cases of SARS-CoV infection were reported in China before spreading to 29 other countries.[9]
- Majority of the cases of MERS-CoV infection were reported in the Middle East (mainly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) before spreading to 27 other countries.
- Majority of the cases of COVID-19 have been reported in China and the disease has spread to 67 countries (including the United States) so far.[10]
Recent Outbreaks
SARS-CoV-2
Global
- Majority of the cases of COVID-19 have been reported in China and the disease has spread to 67 countries (including the United States) so far.[10]
Status in the United States
| Total Cases | 43 |
|---|---|
| Total hospitalized | 17 |
| Total deaths | 2 |

- These data represent cases detected and tested in the United States through U.S. public health surveillance systems since January 21, 2020. It does not include people who returned to the U.S. via State Department-chartered flights.[13]
