This tracker displays data for more than 200 countries and territories across the globe. (See Disclaimer for additional information about the term "country.")
Each partner was assigned a portfolio of countries for which to collect data from publicly available data sources. Information from publicly available sources was obtained from departments/ministries of education, health, state-sponsored COVID-19 dedicated websites, and news sources. Any news source was verified with at least one additional secondary source. The tracker reflects the most currently available data at the time of each round of survey completion.
