Error Description

25 May 2021 numbers are duplicates of 24 May 2021.

Suggested fixes

  1. Unsure of fix as NICD report for 25 May 2021 still reports the figures of 24 May 2021 (https://www.nicd.ac.za/latest-confirmed-cases-of-covid-19-in-south-africa-25-may-2021/).

Issue has been fixed in the source data, thank you to the person responsible. (@lrossouw, I believe?)

My automated process captured what was in the report for that day which was a repeat. I fixed this by using data from another dashboard. See 95225c35066ba43ee22c2391c1c7781ddbb03947 for an explanation. In general the cumulative figures on that dashboard ties up with the daily reports.
