Coronavirus disease
(COVID-19)
Situation Report – 153
Data as received by WHO from national authorities by 10:00 CEST, 21 June 2020
Highlights
The WHO Regional Director for Europe, Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, shared that the European
Region accounts for 31% of COVID-19 cases and 43% of COVID-19 deaths globally. Dr Kluge
highlighted that several countries continue to face increasing disease incidence and that
“Preparing for the autumn is a priority now at the WHO Regional Office for Europe”.
The WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, Dr Ahmed Al-Mandhari, has
released a statement on COVID-19. He highlighted that while there is a wide body of research
on COVID-19, many things are still unknown. He reiterated that as knowledge of the disease
evolves, recommendations about how best to control the pandemic are also evolving.
A survey conducted by the WHO Regional Office for the Americas highlight that services for the
prevention and treatment of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have been critically affected
since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Region.
Oman has launched some of the most powerful technological solutions deployed to date in
the Middle East to track the movement and spread of COVID-19 and ensure patient
compliance with isolation measures, in an effort to contain the disease in the country.

Case definitions
WHO periodically updates the Global Surveillance for human infection with coronavirus
disease (COVID-19) document which includes surveillance definitions.
Definition of COVID-19 death
A COVID-19 death is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from a clinically
compatible illness in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative
cause of death that cannot be related to COVID-19 disease (e.g. trauma). There should be no
period of complete recovery between the illness and death.
Further guidance for certification and classification (coding) of COVID-19 as cause of death is
available here and here.
Annex 1: Data, table and figure notes
Caution must be taken when interpreting all data presented. Differences are to be expected
between information products published by WHO, national public health authorities, and
other sources using different inclusion criteria and different data cut-off times. While steps
are taken to ensure accuracy and reliability, all data are subject to continuous verification and
change. Case detection, definitions, testing strategies, reporting practice, and lag times differ
between countries/territories/areas. These factors, amongst others, influence the counts
presented, with variable underestimation of true case and death counts, and variable delays
to reflecting these data at global level.
The designations employed, and the presentation of these materials do not imply the
expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of WHO concerning the legal status of any
country, territory or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or
boundaries. Dotted and dashed lines on maps represent approximate border lines for which
there may not yet be full agreement. Countries, territories and areas are arranged under the
administering WHO region.
The mention of specific companies or of certain manufacturers’ products does not imply that
they are endorsed or recommended by WHO in preference to others of a similar nature that
are not mentioned. Errors and omissions excepted, the names of proprietary products are
distinguished by initial capital letters.

All references to Kosovo should be understood to be in the context of the United Nations
Security Council resolution 1244 (1999). In the map, number of cases of Serbia and Kosovo
(UNSCR 1244, 1999) have been aggregated for visualization purposes.
Counts reflect laboratory-confirmed cases and deaths, based on WHO case
definitions, unless stated otherwise (see Country, territory, or area-specific updates and
errata), and include both domestic and repatriated cases.
Other*: includes cases reported from international conveyances.
Due to the recent trend of countries conducting data reconciliation exercises which remove
large numbers of cases or deaths from their total counts, WHO will now display such data as
negative numbers in the “new cases” / “new deaths” columns as appropriate. This will aid
readers in identifying when such adjustments occur. When additional details become
available that allow the subtractions to be suitably apportioned to previous days, graphics will
be updated accordingly. Prior situation reports will not be edited; see covid19.who.int for the
most up-to-date data.
Additional table notes
i
Transmission classification is based on a process of country/territory/area self-reporting.
Classifications are reviewed on a weekly basis and may be revised as new information
becomes available. and. Differing degrees of transmission may be present within
countries/territories/areas; classification is based on the highest category reported within a
country/territory/area. Categories:
• No cases: with no confirmed cases
• Sporadic cases: with one or more cases, imported or locally detected
• Clusters of cases: experiencing cases, clustered in time, geographic location and/or by
common exposures
• Community transmission: experiencing larger outbreaks of local transmission defined
through an assessment of factors including, but not limited to: large numbers of cases not
linkable to transmission chains; large numbers of cases from sentinel lab surveillance;
and/or multiple unrelated clusters in several areas of the country/territory/area
• Pending: transmission classification has not been reported to WHO
ii “Territories” include territories, areas, overseas dependencies and other jurisdictions of
similar status.
Country, territory, or area-specific updates and errata
• Update 17 June 2020, India: India has reported a large increase in deaths in the last 24
hours, possibly due to a data reconciliation process. Edit 21 June 2020: Local authorities
confirmed that the significant increase of deaths reported earlier this week was due to
a backlog in data reporting from Delhi and Mumbai.
• Update 21 June 2020, Brazil: A large increase observed on this day was in part due to a
lag in reporting from three states (Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo), compounding
data from two days.
• Erratum 21 June 2020, Czechia: Counts adjusted retrospectively to align with national
authorities: 54 cases have been excluded on 20 June.
• Erratum 21 June 2020, Germany: Counts adjusted retrospectively to align with national
authorities: 1 death has been excluded on 20 June.
