In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel Coronavirus, also called severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), began in the Wuhan region of
China. This virus can cause the COVID-19 disease.
This novel Coronavirus is spreading globally at a disturbing rate, which keeps
everybody on top of the news. The media worldwide is covering the spread of
the virus constantly, and a lot of people are tracking the number of cases
in their country.
The Coronavirus integration tracks the number of people that are confirmed with,
recovered from, and deceased caused by the virus in your country, or worldwide.
The data is sourced from the [Johns Hopkins University](https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6).
## Configuration
This integration can be configured via the Home Assistant frontend.
- Go to **Configuration** -> **Integrations**.
- Click on the `+` in the bottom right corner to add a new integration.
- Search and select the **Coronavirus** integration form the list.
- Follow the instruction on screen to add the sensors. Either choose for adding
world-wide sensors, or a specific set of sensors for your country.
If you want to track both world-wide and one or more countries at the same time,
you can repeat the configuration process described above to add multiple
instances of the integration.
<div class='note'>
This integration is released in a special release of Home Assistant Core:
0.106.3.
While this integration is marked as released in 0.106, it is only available
on Home Assistant Core 0.106.3 or newer.

In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel [Coronavirus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus)
also called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2
([SARS-CoV-2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome_coronavirus_2)),
began in the Wuhan region of China. This virus can cause the
[COVID-19](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus_disease_2019) disease.
This novel Coronavirus is spreading globally at a disturbing rate, which keeps
everybody on top of the news. The media worldwide is covering the spread of
the virus constantly, and a lot of people are tracking the number of cases
in their country.
This special release adds the [Coronavirus integration](/integrations/coronavirus),
allowing you to track the outbreak from within Home Assistant.
## The Coronavirus integration
While having a meeting at [Nabu Casa](https://www.nabucasa.com/),
we caught ourselves talking a lot about the state of the virus spreading in
the countries we live in. Which brought us to the subject of being able to
track the virus in Home Assistant itself.
So together, we started working on an integration right away. We decided to
bring you a special release of Home Assistant that includes this integration.
The Coronavirus integration tracks the number of people that are confirmed with,
recovered from, and deceased caused by the virus in your country, or worldwide.
The data is sourced from the [Johns Hopkins University](https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6).
