Overview
Epidemiology and Demorgraphics
Incidence
- Due to the lack of data, the exact incidence rate of COVID-19 can not be approximated.
Prevalence
- To date, 137,445 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have emerged globally.
- Prevalent in all the continents of the world, World Health Organization (WHO) has declared COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic.

Case-fatality rate
- The case fatality-rate of COVID-19 in the first 99 patients at a Wuhan hospital (the epicenter of the outbreak) was found to be 11%.[2]
- In a different study comprising of 138 patients infected with COVID-19, the mortality has been established to be 4.3%.[3]
- Due to inconsistent reporting and lack of organized data, the exact case-fatality rate of COVID-19 is yet to be established.
Age
- SARS-CoV-2 can infect individuals of any age.
- Middle aged and elderly population seem to be the most commonly affected.
- In multiple cohorts of patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19, the median age is established to range from 49 to 56 years.[4][5]
