The University of Miami’s COVID-19 Observatory collects, analyzes, and shares national and subnational policy data about the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America.

Latin America is the world’s hot-spot for COVID-19 infections and deaths. Although the region holds just over 8% of the world’s population, since June it accounts for over 50% of registered daily deaths. Approximately 12% of these deaths are in Mexico (over 600 per day) and 22% in Brazil (approximately 1,000 per day). We present up-to-date, over-time, national, and subnational data on the public health and testing policies adopted by governments to curb the pandemic. 

The Observatory is a project led by the University of Miami through its Institute of Advanced Studies of the Americas, College of Arts and Sciences, Miller School of Medicine, and School of Communication in close collaboration with a growing number of think tanks and universities from across the Americas, including CIDE and Tómatelo a Pecho Mexico.
