*The source changed the information they provide starting from May 8, 2020. The figures are now based on the data published by municipalities instead of the data reported directly to the source.
**Figures of "need inpatient treatment" from March 29 to May 8, 2020 included cases which were still under confirmation of the symptoms. From May 9 onwards, the figures do not include the cases under confirmation, hence the significant decline in number on May 9. The Information on number of patients with symptoms or no symptoms is no longer available starting from May 9.
