What the fields mean
- infected
- People currently reported infected at the stated asOf date, including suspected diagnoses. Observation admissions alone are separate.
- dead
- Cumulative reported event-linked deaths, including suspected diagnoses; not deaths on the publication day.
- recovered
- Cumulative reported recoveries; release from precautionary quarantine alone is not recovery.
- unknown
- null means no usable reported value. Zero is only used when a source explicitly reports zero.
- aggregation
- Country figures include local subtotals where parent counts are missing. Never add country and state counts or sum cumulative snapshots across dates. Worldwide counts sum the latest country figures; contributing dates and coverage can differ.
- evidence
- Reputable news reporting is accepted as stated without independent verification or official confirmation. Source caveats remain in dated record notes. Reported counts do not imply laboratory-confirmed diagnoses.
- dates
- asOf describes the reporting snapshot or metric evidence date. updatedAt describes a repository publication or correction, not a new incident or collection attempt.
Each metric carries its source links, date, reporting coverage and whether it came from a parent report or local subtotal. Country histories include the original record notes. Quarantine evidence older than seven days is marked unknown until updated.

How to cite
Cite the response’s citationUrl, the metric’s asOf date and its original sources. Save revision and updatedAt with extracts. Reports and dated histories can be corrected; the revision identifies a snapshot and is not an immutable archive URL.
Example: Russian Plague Tracker, Russia reported deaths, as of the date returned in metrics.dead.asOf; cite the linked news report alongside the country page.
