How to read these figures
Confirmed cases and deaths are cumulative totals since the start of the outbreak, never daily values. The fatality rate is deaths over confirmed cases. New cases (24h) is the change announced by the latest bulletin, not a calculation of ours.
Two known limitations. National figures are sometimes published before the province and health-zone breakdown, so a temporary gap between levels is normal. And the authorities sometimes revise figures retroactively — those revisions are reflected here as they come, unsmoothed.
