Two students from an American university developed COVID-19 visualizer, an interactive website that provides a quick look at the new coronavirus's impact around the world.

Navid Mamoon and Gabriel Rasskin, two students from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA developed the COVID-19 visualizer. The site aims to provide a quick look at the statistics of COVID-19 cases across the globe.

It uses real-time updates from Worldometers, a live world statistics website. The data on COVID-19 cases is updated based on the GMT (+0) timezone and is updated every two minutes.

A note from the website read, “We wanted people to be able to see this as something that brings us all together. It's not one country or another country; it's one planet - and this is what our planet looks like today.”
