Data valid as at 23:58 GMT October 1st, 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.

18 new cases for Australia and 2 deaths so the CMR rises to 3.277% while active cases drop to 1,424. NSW recorded 3 cases, WA recorded 1 with the balance in Victoria.

The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 16.5 with metro at 12.8 (14 unknown) and regional at 0.2 and no unknown cases. Victoria reported 7 new cases for the last 24 hours.

18 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.353% and active cases rise to 53.

The UK had a slightly lower 6,914 new cases yesterday. 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 had 59 deaths yesterday.

Just under 41k new cases in the USA yesterday and 955 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.843% and active cases drop to 34.1% with the raw numbers falling. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.
