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 2019-nCoV 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, 92,818 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 2019-nCoV 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 2019-nCoV, the mortality has been established to be 4.3%.[4]
Age
- Patients of all age groups can develop the disease.
- The median age of patients suffering from COVID-19 has been established to be 59 years.[5]
Race
- Coronavirus infections affect all races.
Gender
- Coronavirus infections affect men and women equally.
- In a recent study, 2019-nCoV has been found to have infected males more than females.[6]
Region
- Majority of the cases of SARS-CoV infection were reported in China before spreading to 29 other countries.[7]
- 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.[8]
Recent Outbreaks
