Which data is inaccurate or missing?

As on 07th June 2022, Data in OWID is:

28/05/2022 : 326 29/05/2022 : 218 30/05/2022 : 195

Data on the OW i.e CNHC(official source):

28/05/2022 : 82 29/05/2022 : 34 30/05/2022 : 50

Why do you think the data is inaccurate or missing?

When we closely checked the data we found that CNHC bifurcates the data on the basis of Symptomatic & Asymptomatic. Query: The data you pulled from CNHC, you included asymptomatic data in it or not?

Hi @mkhanka, Thanks for reporting!

We source our data on COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths from the COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19. This page also lists their sources, country by country. We report this data without alterations, but issues can be raised in their GitHub repository: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/issues
