How to Use This Table

The table separates official country response from the outbreak case count. A country can have monitored passengers without a confirmed local case.

Counts and response details can change as confirmatory testing, repatriation, and quarantine decisions progress. Use the linked source date before quoting any row.

The highest-value companion pages for search and citation are the official-source outbreak timeline, the country case context hub, and the MV Hondius outbreak page.
