US Covid-19 Testing Rates

The United States has a very low testing rate for the coronavirus disease COVID-19, when compared to most other countries.

143 countries have recorded testing rates according to the worldometers site, with rates between 8 and 108,000 tests per million people.

The US currently sits at position 43 with 7,109 tests per million.

Some of these countries have small populations, and so can easily a lot of their population.

But comparing against other developed countries, Norway and Switzerland, with over 20,000 per million and Australia, Austria and Italy, with over 12,000 per million, and Canada and Spain (9,800 and 7,600) it shows that the USA has to do more tests to keep up with many other countries.
