The "New" columns for China display the previous day changes (as China reports after the day is over). For all other countries, the "New" columns display the changes for the current day while still in progress.
* ITALY: Italian media are reporting the change
in active cases (a lower number) rather than the change in total cases (a higher
number), representing it as "newly infected" when, in fact, it
represents the "change in active cases." Newly infected, meaning the number of people who have tested positive to the virus in
the last day, is the number shown on the table above, which
corresponds to the change in total
cases in accordance with the international standards set by the
WHO and followed by all countries. The change in active cases (what Italian
media label as "newly infected") is the result of the following
formula: (newly infected) - (new deaths) - (new recoveries). All data,
including total cases ("casi totali") is available on Italy's Dipartimento della
Protezione Civile official repository
