regionType Changing regionType to be a list of types. This will enable better understanding of the data in cases where a city is also a county such as "San Francisco" or a city is also a state such as "Washington D.C." As well as other various examples

Additional schema changes Remove redundant fields for regionType, stateId and countryId from the daily stats files The file size will become an issue the more regions are added and all the information is already present in the metadata file

Latest file Added a by-region-latest.{json|tsv} file which holds the latest known figures for each region. This file will be updated hourly and will provide developers with an easy "one-stop" destination for a global view of the current COVID-19 status
