I just looked at it, it increased to 15th, we are now 17th of March

It means they give data since 2 days ago.  Why??

It means one should multiply by 2 or so to know what's happening today.

I hope they keep updating it.

(this is from my experience from watching the China data publicly 
available on China CDC, in particular the ' new cases').  They update it 
daily (not from two days ago).  On that site we see the today's data, 
not the data from two days ago; that data says the evolution is constant 
- flat right now since a few days; it's low but constant, not growing, 
not going down)

(also I would like to know whether people in China after 2 months of 
confinement are now allowed to get out or not?)
