Now over 213,000 known confirmed cases of Coronavirus globally.
A milestone the world didn’t want to reach with over 213,000 known cases of Coronavirus has been confirmed.
While Western Australia makes up only 0.0175% of the worlds total confirmed cases we are only at the beginning of the pandemic. Australia overall currently has over 550 confirmed cases with New South Wales hit the hardest with over 260 known cases.
To put Australia’s numbers into perspective the growth of confirmed cases has grown over 600% in the last week. When both Italy and Spain had reached over 500 known cases, within 2 days they were over 1,000.

Though with 8,700 known deaths and over 122,000 active cases, recovery and death percentages will continue to fluctuate.
