全球范围内对新型冠状病毒2019新型冠状病毒（2019-nCoV）作为全球公共卫生威胁的事实存在明显的担忧。随着由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型（SARS-CoV-2）引起的COVID-19疫情在中国及其他地区的蔓延，需要快速获得流行病学数据，以指导态势感知和干预策略。最近在中国武汉爆发的由SARS-CoV-2引起的肺炎强调了分析这种新型病毒的流行病学数据并预测其感染地球仪各地的人的风险的重要性。在这项研究中，我们基于约翰霍普金斯大学、世界卫生组织、中国疾病预防控制中心、国家卫生委员会和丁香园提供的几个关于2019-nCoV的开放数据集，对COVID-19流行病学暴发信息进行了汇编和分析。进行了可视化的探索性数据分析，以了解中国不同省份和中国境外报告的不同病例数（确诊、死亡和痊愈）。总体而言，在此类疫情爆发之初，非常重要的是随时提供信息，以便开始必要的评估，以了解风险并开始遏制活动。
There is an obvious concern globally regarding the fact about the emerging coronavirus 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) as a worldwide public health threat. As the outbreak of COVID-19 causes by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) progresses within China and beyond, rapidly available epidemiological data are needed to guide strategies for situational awareness and intervention. The recent outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan, China, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 emphasizes the importance of analyzing the epidemiological data of this novel virus and predicting their risks of infecting people all around the globe. In this study, we present an effort to compile and analyze epidemiological outbreak information on COVID-19 based on the several open datasets on 2019-nCoV provided by the Johns Hopkins University, World Health Organization, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, National Health Commission, and DXY. An exploratory data analysis with visualizations has been made to understand the number of different cases reported (confirmed, death, and recovered) in different provinces of China and outside of China. Overall, at the outset of an outbreak like this, it is highly important to readily provide information to begin the evaluation necessary to understand the risks and begin containment activities.
