This study aimed to investigate thetrends of incidence and case fatality rate (CFR) of COVID‑19 in the world by April 30, 2020.METHODS: This was a descriptive‑analytical study. We investigated the number of cases and deathsin 35 selected countries and regions of the WHO that had at least 10,000 cases by the time of thestudy. In addition, the incidence and CFR of COVID‑19 were investigated. Finally, time trends of thenumber of cases, deaths, and CFR were investigated using ordinary least squares regression models.RESULTS: The total number of confirmed cases of COVID‑19 was 3,090,184. The European regionhad the highest number of COVID‑19 patients (1,434,649 [46.43%]). Ukraine with 10,406 and theUSA with 1,003,974 cases have reported the lowest and highest confirmed cases, respectively. Inaddition, the European region and the African region with 157.13 and 2.50 patients per 100,000population had the highest and the lowest incidence rate, respectively. India (2.44) and Spain (455.69)had the lowest and the highest incidence rate per 100,000 population, respectively. In the world,217,759 deaths have happened, of which 135,961 (62.44%) were reported in the European region.Furthermore, the USA had the highest number of deaths (52,428) due to COVID‑19.

Thenumber of patients and deaths due to COVID‑19 had increasing trends in all countries, and the trendof CFR just for Iran and Ukraine was negative.CONCLUSION: The countries had different trends in the morbidity and mortality of COVID‑19.However, regarding the increasing trend of the disease in the world, it will be more important to relyon public prevention strategies.
