Countries with the highest numbers of confirmed coronavirus cases are India, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Among the earliest countries to report COVID-19 cases after the outbreak in China were South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam, but these countries had successfully controlled the pandemic. The highest numbers of deaths are recorded in Iran, India, Turkey, China, and Pakistan, with more than 27,000 deaths combined. The death tolls in a number of countries, however, are claimed to be significantly higher than those given in official figures.[4][5]

Several Southeast Asian countries experienced a significant rise in cases following a Tabligh Jamaat event from 27 February to 1 March at a mosque in Kuala Lumpur, where many people are believed to have been infected.[6][7] Similarly, events in India and Pakistan have also caused a surge in the number of cases in those countries. Major outbreaks emerged in dormitories for migrant workers in the Maldives and Singapore where social distancing was unable to be practiced and led to a significant rise in cases in both countries.[8][9]

All recovered Confirmed Imported[lower-alpha 1] First outbreak of pandemic


As of 8 June 2020, there have been 1692 total (64 active) imported cases in mainland China, with no deaths recorded among them:[37]


See "Notes" section below for imported cases details (all data are given out of total imported cases).

For the first time since the COVID-19 outbreak, China on Wednesday revealed the presence of 1,541 asymptomatic cases carrying the deadly novel coronavirus, raising concerns of a second wave of infections amid the relaxation of stringent measures in the country initiated to contain the deadly disease.

Asymptomatic coronavirus cases are those who carry the virus but do not show any symptoms and can cause sporadic clusters of infections. In a surprise announcement on Tuesday, China's National Health Commission (NHC) said it would begin to release the data of asymptomatic patients.

A total of 1,541 asymptomatic patients infected with COVID-19 have been put under medical observation in China by the end of Monday, including 205 imported cases, state-run Xinhua news agency quoted the NHC in a statement.

This section is an excerpt from COVID-19 pandemic in India[edit]

The COVID-19 pandemic in India is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first case of COVID-19 in India, which originated from China, was reported on 30 January 2020. As of 27 June 2020, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) has confirmed a total of 508,953 cases, 295,880 recoveries (including 1 migration) and 15,685 deaths in the country.[83] India currently has the largest number of confirmed cases in Asia,[84] and has the fourth highest number of confirmed cases in the world[85] with the number of total confirmed cases breaching the 100,000 mark on 19 May and 200,000 on 3 June.[86][87] India's case fatality rate is relatively lower at 2.80%, against the global 6.13%, as of 3 June.[87] Six cities account for around half of all reported cases in the country – Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Pune and Kolkata.[88] As of 24 May 2020, Lakshadweep is the only region which has not reported a case. On 10 June, India's recoveries exceeded active cases for the first time reducing 49% of total infections.[89]

On 22 March, India observed a 14-hour voluntary public curfew at the instance of the prime minister Narendra Modi. It was followed by mandatory lockdowns in COVID-19 hotspots and all major cities. Further, on 24 March, the Prime Minister ordered a nationwide lockdown for 21 days, affecting the entire 1.3 billion population of India. On 14 April, the PM extended the nationwide lockdown till 3 May which was followed by two-week extensions starting 3 and 17 May with substantial relaxations. Beginning 1 June the Government has started unlocking the country (barring containment zones) in three unlock phases.[90][91][92][93][94][95][96]

The United Nations (UN) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have praised India's response to the pandemic as 'Comprehensive and robust,' terming the Lockdown restrictions as aggressive but vital for containing the spread and building necessary healthcare infrastructure. The Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) noted the government's swift and stringent actions, emergency policy making, emergency investment in healthcare, fiscal stimulus, investment in vaccine and drug R&D. It gave India a score of 100 for its strict response. Michael Ryan, chief executive director of the WHO's health emergencies programme noted that India had tremendous capacity to deal with the outbreak owing to its vast experience in eradicating smallpox and polio.[97][98][99] In June, India was ranked 56th of 200 countries in COVID 19 safety assessment report by Deep Knowledge Group.[100] Though, other commentators have also raised concerns about the economic fallout arising as a result of the pandemic and preventive restrictions.[101][102] The lockdown was justified by the government and other agencies for being preemptive to prevent India from entering a higher stage which could make handling very difficult and cause even more losses thereafter.[103][104]

Indonesia
This section is an excerpt from COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia[edit]
Cases per million by province as of 26 June 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia is part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It was confirmed to have spread to Indonesia on 2 March 2020, after a dance instructor and her mother tested positive for the virus. Both were infected from a Japanese national.[105][106]

By 9 April, the pandemic had spread to all 34 provinces in the country and by 24 June, half of them had more than 500 cases. East Java, Jakarta, and South Sulawesi are the worst-hit provinces. The largest increase of new cases in a single day occurred on 27 June, when 1,385 cases were announced. On 26 June, there were 884 recoveries recorded just within a span of 24 hours, the most ever.

As of 27 June, Indonesia has reported 52,812 cases, the highest in Southeast Asia, overtaking Singapore since 17 June. In terms of death numbers, Indonesia ranks sixth in Asia with 2,720 deaths.[107] Review of data, however, indicated that the number of deaths may be much higher than what has been reported as those who died with acute COVID-19 symptoms but had not been confirmed or tested were not counted in the official death figure.[108]

Indonesia has conducted 753,370 tests against its 273 million population so far, or around 2,754 tests per million, making it one of the lowest testing rates in the world. As a comparison, it is lower than Cape Verde which has only around 556 thousand population, yet has conducted 2,806 tests per million.[107]

Instead of implementing a nationwide lockdown, the government had approved large-scale social restrictions (Indonesian: Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar, abbreviated as PSBB) for some regencies and cities. Starting from late May, they begin to apply New Normal, alongside with another green and yellow zone regions. This policy received a lot of criticism and is considered as a disaster because cases are still increasing.[109]

Iran

The COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first case in Singapore was confirmed on 23 January. Early cases were primarily imported until local transmission began to develop in February and March. By late-March and April, COVID-19 clusters were detected at multiple dormitories for foreign workers, which soon contributed to an overwhelming proportion of new cases in the country. Singapore currently has the second highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Southeast Asia, behind Indonesia.[182]

To fight against COVID-19, a multi-ministerial committee was formed on 22 January with Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong and Minister for Health Gan Kim Yong as the co-chairs and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Heng Swee Keat as advisors.[183][184] Singapore also contributed US$500,000 to support World Health Organization (WHO) efforts against COVID-19.[185] In response to the growing number of new cases, Singapore announced on 3 April a stringent set of preventative measures, collectively called the "circuit breaker", to be applied from 7 April to 4 May. The circuit breaker was extended to 1 June on 21 April following continued untraced transmission within the community. The preventive measures loosened partially on 1 June with the second phase on 19 June. Further loosening is being planned in the later part of Phases 2 and 3.
