COVID-19 – Facts and Figures

In addition to some of our own analysis, SPP has compiled a chart pack that utilises a range of insights prepared by a number of credible groups to help understand the COVID-19 situation.

We hope this helps you in your response planning.

Since starting in China in late 2019, the COVID-19 virus has spread rapidly to almost every corner of the world. With the number of cases and deaths increasing every day, health care systems, companies and economies globally are facing significant levels of pressure.
