Spread of the corona virus in New Caledonia
Currently: 54.8 new infections per day per 100,000 inhabitantsBy October 11th, 2021, 9186 infected persons and 201 deaths have been reported in the country. The first confirmed infections were reported in March 2020, which is the date of the official notification. An additional 10-14 days are calculated for noticing one's own infection, the doctor's appointment, the laboratory test and, above all, the period from the infection until the first symptoms appear.
The total of 9,186 infected people represent 3.4% of the country's total population. The number of new infections during the 40th calendar week (10/04/2021 to 10/10/2021) was 1,044 , representing 54.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per day.

Mortality rate of infected persons
From the previously infected and deceased people, in New Caledonia results in a mortality rate of 2.2%. However, it should be borne in mind that death occurs an average of 19 days after the first symptoms appear. The time of the actual infection is therefore followed by several days until a person affected has a medical test carried out and the results are available. In order to quantify mortality more precisely, one would therefore have to compare the deaths that have occurred to date with those reported 8,142 infected up to 14 days ago. This gives in New Caledonia a new mortality rate of 2.2%.Due to the current corona pandemic, we update the worldwide case numbers weekly. A list of all infected and dead people by country can be found on our Corona virus topic page.
