This week NPR has posted three interactive infographics that health execs may find especially valuable as COVID-19 surges in spots across the U.S. and around the world.

Part of the broadcaster’s “Coronavirus by the Numbers” series, the new items are regularly updated and worth a daily or weekly look:

1. U.S. map showing where counties stand on hospital capacity

2. World map with country-by-country counts of new cases, new cases per 100,000 residents, total cases and total cases per 100,000

3. Heat map indicating COVID risk level by four color-coded categories

NPR started the series in the spring and has archived it as an ongoing collection.
