How to use the plague map
Three steps take you from a world view of plague reports to the original source behind each one.
Open the plague map
The plague map loads with headline counts for the current focus region and a world view of every published report. No account is needed. Pins sit at approximate reported locations, and their color shows whether a report is confirmed, developing or resolved.
Search and filter reports
Type a country or place name into the search box, or use the status filters to show all, confirmed, developing or resolved reports. The plague map and the table below it update together, so you can work from either view.
Open a pin and read the source
Select a pin to read the report summary, the source date and the reported case count when one is known. Every entry links to its original source, so you can check the plague map against the published report before you cite or share it.
What the plague map shows
Each part of the plague map answers one question: where, how certain, how many and according to whom.
Confirmed and developing reports, kept apart
The plague map labels every report as confirmed, developing or resolved. Suspected, unconfirmed and monitored reports are grouped as developing, so an early claim never looks the same as a confirmed case. Pin colors on the plague map and the status column in the table use the same labels.
Plague case counts and reported deaths
Headline figures show confirmed cases, suspected cases, reported deaths and case fatality for the current focus region. When a number has not been established, the plague map shows N/A instead of zero. A reported death is marked separately when its link to plague is not confirmed.
A source behind every pin
The table under the plague map lists each report with its location, status, source date, reported cases and a link to the original reference. The plague map also notes when its latest source is more than seven days old, so you can tell whether coverage may be out of date.
Recent plague reports by location
Reports are sorted by source date, newest first. Use the world view to see where reports sit relative to each other, then zoom in for a closer look at a single region. The plague map focuses on recent reports rather than historical outbreaks.

Plague map limitations
The plague map is an independent editorial project, not a surveillance system. It covers published reports that have been reviewed, so it can miss cases that never appeared in public sources, and it can lag behind official updates. Pins mark approximate reported locations, not exposure zones, and a missing pin does not mean an area is free of plague. Use the plague map to orient yourself, then rely on WHO, CDC or your local health authority for official guidance.
