Notes
- ^ a b c d e f The total number of cases reported on these dates includes historical cases that were already considered recovered. Therefore, the number of new, active cases (in brackets) reported does not equal the increase in total cases (compared with the total number from the previous date).[1]
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p One or more previously confirmed cases were reclassified as "under investigation" as suspected historical cases, or were found to be previously recorded historical cases, and were thus removed from the total number of cases. Therefore, the number of new, active cases (in brackets) reported on these dates does not equal the increase in total cases (compared with the total number from the previous date).[1]
