Annex 1: Data, table and figure notes :
Caution must be taken when interpreting all data presented. Differences are to be expected between information products published by WHO, national public health authorities, and other sources using different inclusion criteria and different data cut-off times. While steps are taken to ensure accuracy and reliability, all data are subject to continuous verification and change. Case detection, definitions, testing strategies, reporting practice, and lag times differ between countries/territories/areas. These factors, amongst others, influence the counts presented, with variable underestimation of true case and death counts, and variable delays to reflecting these data at global level. The designations employed, and the presentation of these materials do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of WHO concerning the legal status of any country, territory or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. Dotted and dashed lines on maps represent approximate border lines for which there may not yet be full agreement. Countries, territories and areas are arranged under the administering WHO region. The mention of specific companies or of certain manufacturers’ products does not imply that they are endorsed or recommended by WHO in preference to others of a similar nature that are not mentioned. Errors and omissions excepted, the names of proprietary products are distinguished by initial capital letters. [1] All references to Kosovo should be understood to be in the context of the United Nations Security Council resolution 1244 (1999). In the map, number of cases of Serbia and Kosovo (UNSCR 1244, 1999) have been aggregated for visualization purposes. Counts reflect laboratory-confirmed cases and deaths, based on WHO case definitions, unless stated otherwise (see Country, territory, or area-specific updates and errata), and include both domestic and repatriated cases. Other*: includes cases reported from international conveyances. Due to the recent trend of countries conducting data reconciliation exercises which remove large numbers of cases or deaths from their total counts, WHO will now display such data as negative numbers in the “new cases” / “new deaths” columns as appropriate. This will aid readers in identifying when such adjustments occur. When additional details become available that allow the subtractions to be suitably apportioned to previous days, graphics will be updated accordingly. Prior situation reports will not be edited; see covid19.who.int for the most up-to-date data. Additional table notes i Transmission classification is based on a process of country/territory/area self-reporting. Classifications are reviewed on a weekly basis, and may be revised as new information becomes available. and. Differing degrees of transmission may be present within countries/territories/areas; classification is based on the highest category reported within a country/territory/area. Categories:
• No cases: with no confirmed cases • Sporadic cases: with one or more cases, imported or locally detected.
• Clusters of cases: experiencing cases, clustered in time, geographic location and/or by common exposures.
• Community transmission: experiencing large r outbreaks of local transmission defined through an assessment of factors including, but not limited to: l transmission chains unrelated clusters ; l arge numbers of cases from sentinel lab surveillance arge numbers of cases not linkable to ; and/or m ultiple in several areas of the country/territory/area
