In Ontario there is a large difference between the number of people "approved for testing" and the actual tests being carried out:https://www.ontario.ca/page/2019-novel-coronavirus I think to be fair and comparable, we can only use the total number of positive and negative tests for the table and not the people "approved" -- I can find no evidence these people were actually tested so far. --hroest15:31, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The approved is a total of negative, currently under investigation, and positive. Currently under investigation have in fact been tested, the results are just pending, per the website, so I think it is fair to include them.UmpireRay (talk)16:43, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In a recent edit, 70.76.229.79 says: "Nova Scotia said Recovered 999, Death 62 and Active case 1, 999 + 62 + 1 = 1,062 then Case number is 1,062". Well, that's assuming...
that the reported number of recovered is still 999. That's what they reported on June 7, but their news releases since then haven't given the number of recoveries.
that the reported number of recoveries is more reliable than the reported number of cases. (My guess is, it's the other way round.)
that the number of active cases is only 1. As far as I can tell, Nova Scotia Health has never given the total number of active cases. Their news releases give the number in long-term care facilities and (until a couple days ago) the number in hospitals, but leave out all the other cases. Instead, the only way to get the number of active cases has been to subtract recovered + dead from cases, which gave reasonable numbers until a couple weeks ago, and since June 6 is even giving negative numbers.
Anyway, all this is probably moot, because NS Health is overhauling how they collect and report their case numbers. For example, see[1]Jmdyck (talk)03:16, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just a note for those updating Quebec's numbers: the government of Quebec has recently revised their recovery criteria (unknown, according to CTV News),[1][2] so a footnote might need to be added in regards to the new recovery numbers. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 )20:35, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Arrecife, page protection generally isn't granted unlessmultiple IPs have been vandalising frequently over the span of a few days. If it's a single IP vandal reverting their edits or restoring the page before they vandalised solves the problem. If the problem persists you can try dropping a line atWP:RFPP. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 )02:47, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
