Among the countries hardest hit, Belgium regrets the highest mortality rate, with 84 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, followed by the United Kingdom (65), Spain (61), Italy (58), and Sweden (54).

Mainland China (not counting Hong Kong and Macao) has 83,553 infected people, of whom 4,634 died and 78,516 were completely healed.
