COVID-19 Cases Confirmed Summary

In the daily COVID-19 cases confirmed table, there is a surprising finding. The number of new cases in 03Jun 2020 and 24July 2021 is Negative. This situation may be caused by an error in the previous test result, or other reasons. The data is limited, so that no in-depth analysis will be done in this blog.

COVID-19 Deaths Summary

In the COVID-19 Deaths table, there is the same finding as well. The number of new death in the 24July 2020 is negative. This may be a duplicate record when the new death cases were counted previously, or the cause of death was not COVID-19.
