This is a real-time dashboard of the numbers of known cases in various areas.

Beyond the numbers, also of interest is whether an area is believed to have “ongoing community transmission”, i.e., the infection vectors are out of control; this is more indicative of whether travel to that area (or contact with people from that area) poses a risk.
If you speak German (or have machine translation):
