Data valid as at 23:59 GMT October 13th, 2020.

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting except for the Victorian 14 day moving averages.

30 new cases for Australia and 1 death so the CMR stays at 3.292% while active cases increase to 1,381. NSW recorded 13; WA recorded 7 cases, SA recorded 1, with the balance in Victoria. It should be noted that test numbers were well down yesterday.

The Victorian State 14 day moving average (excluding today) is now back up to 11.43 with metro falling to 9.6 (14 unknown) and regional up to 0.6 with no unknown cases (including today). Victoria reported 7 new cases for the last 24 hours.

1 new case and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.334% and active cases drop to 39.

The UK had 17,234 new cases yesterday, their 2nd highest recorded. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore the CMR but even using their method they recorded 143 deaths.

Just over 46.5k new cases in the USA yesterday and 323 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.737% and active cases drop to 32.8% with the raw numbers falling but still over 2.6M. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
The USA completes 120M, India 88M, UK 28M, Mexico 2M and Spain 14M tests;
Sweden passes 100k cases;
Asia passes 12M cases;

Albania (182); Bulgaria (785); Libya (1,164); the UAE (1,315); Jordan (2,054); Canada (4,042); the Netherlands (7,378) and Russia (13,866) all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.
