Hi,
covid-19-cases-uk.csv shows first case in Cwm Taf on 22/01/20, a case in Kent on 31/01/20, Barnsley and Hertfordshire cases on 03/02/20. But from news reports, the first cases are York on 29/01/20 then Brighton 6/2/20.

This is my first github entry ever, so I may be doing this all wrong! I'd be grateful for any light you can shine on my confusion. Thanks for the data!

Hi @CathLass, thanks for opening your first github issue!

The cases csv is revised every day using updated data from Public Health England and Public Health Wales, so this might explain the dates of the first cases changing.

Those cases I saw that I listed above have now disappeared from the data. I guess they were errors.
