More than 803,000 people around the world have tested positive for the coronavirus as of Tuesday morning, with the highest number of cases in the U.S. (reporting just under 165,000 cases as of Tuesday), followed by Italy, Spain, China, Germany, France, Iran, and the U.K., according to numbers compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
As the number of cases climbs and cities, schools, and businesses close, many are feeling the widespread effects of the global outbreak creep closer to home. On March 11, actor Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson were among the first high-profile figures to announce their COVID-19 tests were positive (they have since recovered). In the weeks since, a flurry of similar statements have been released by many other prominent figures, including Prince Charles, Boris Johnson, Senator Rand Paul, and Boston Celtic Marcus Smart among them.
