Map: Track coronavirus infection rates per capita, county-by-county

SAN ANTONIO – A new map put out by the Stanford Big Local News platform shows the severity of coronavirus across the country, broken down by county.

KSAT-TV reports the site was developed with data provided by state and local health agencies, along with data from the New York Times.

COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the new virus, stands for coronavirus disease 2019. The disease first appeared in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, but spread around the world in early 2020, causing the World Health Organization to declare a pandemic in March.
