Hi, I've noticed that the data on Aruba's numbers cases and deaths doesn't match the official one: https://www.arubacovid19.org What is there reason for that?

Thanks.

Our data for cases and deaths comes from the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC). If you think there is a problem, could you please be more specific. What are the dates and numbers that you think are wrong?

Pulling the latest data from here https://github.com/OxCGRT/covid-policy-tracker/raw/master/data/OxCGRT_latest.csv , Aruba's first (date=20200313) non missing value for confirmed cases is 698 and for confirmed deaths it's 7. ECDC's data for Aruba as of 3rd of August is 122 cases and 3 deaths.

Thanks for that – it does seem to be an error introduced somewhere in our chain of data linkages. Not sure how. We’re looking into it, hopefully will be fixed in the next day.
