Thank you @wdfeww. We've now changed our collection method for the testing data to use this endpoint instead.

For the cases however, there is unfortunately not much we can do to fix this. We source our data directly from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and report it without making alterations to its original cases and death figures.

Hi @edomt, can you please also update COVID-19 dataset that is presented here in GitHub. I can see that there is some job that is updating tables every hour but columns that describe covid testing are empty for Slovakia. Screen Shot 2020-10-20 at 9 19 07 AM ?

These columns are all for the testing data—we run testing updates around 3 times per week (usually Monday/Wednesday/Friday). On top of that, not all countries release testing data up to the current date: for example right now the official data published by Slovakia only goes up to October 18.
