Claim: Most affected countries by COVID-19 are along the same 40-degree North latitude.
Fact-check: Not all the countries severely affected by COVID-19 are on the 40-degree North latitude - FACTLY
Verdict: 40-degree north latitude passes through some of the countries most affected by covid-19 but does not pass through half of the locations given in the post. also, it does not touch wuhan , which is at around 30-degree north latitude. hence the claim made in the post is false.
