Key Data
Updated 29th June 2020
Whilst some countries are still dealing with their first wave of COVID-19, health experts believe that other countries may experience a second wave. As shown in this graph, we can see that a few countries have already seen a rise in the number of cases again. However, it is important to remember that rising cases may also be down to the country carrying out more tests for their population.
