Hi @Saurabh0027! Thanks for your message.

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.

A small note is that we estimate new_cases based on the difference of total_cases, which is what CSSE reports at the moment.

We do not plan on reporting confirmed cases and confirmed deaths from other sources at the moment.
