Working with the COVID-19 US Sample Power BI Report

Microsoft has provided a free, downloadable or embeddable, Power BI Report sample using COVID-19 data for the US. This report can be used as is, or customized to leverage the COVID-19 data and report capabilities to compare to your regular business data. 

About the report

You can use the embed code below to embed this report wherever you would like:
