What Gets Corrected
The site corrects wrong case counts, misclassified case status, broken source links, route errors, publication-date mistakes, and medical statements that no longer match official guidance.
Changing Outbreak Counts
Outbreak counts can change as cases are confirmed, ruled out, reclassified, or added. The current dataset shows the latest official status split, while the timeline keeps historical source wording where useful.
