What timezone are the responses in? #17

I am trying to display some info on a website received from this endpoint, something along the lines of "40,000 cases as of 04/11/2020" but that date can differ quite a bit depending on where in the world the browser is if I don't know the timezone of the response.

If no timezone information is provided, ISO 8601 formatted dates are to be represented as local time Info here

Thank you for the help!

Hi @SammyIsra,

The timestamps are in UTC(00:00) as the upstream data provider, JHU updates the data around 00:00 UTC every night.

Let me know if you have any suggestions or queries.
