An archived dashboard is not necessarily live
The minute-by-minute promise in the 2020 text belonged to the service's operating period. The embedded link should not imply that the data still updates or covers current cases.
This March 2020 entry was published during the early global spread of COVID-19 (related: a man from Italy outlines six stages his country went through).
The Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University has created an app to inform citizens worldwide about the Coronavirus COVID-19 global cases.
The linked map offered reported case and death data during its operating period. It should now be read as a historical resource.

A dashboard is also a record of reporting methods
A case count reflects definitions, testing and reporting practices as well as the events being counted. Comparing places therefore requires more than reading the largest number. This page records the dashboard’s role during the early pandemic; its old invitation to see minute-by-minute updates should not be taken as a promise of a current service.
The tracker stopped updating in 2023
Johns Hopkins ended the Coronavirus Resource Center’s data collection with a final update on March 10, 2023. Its data from January 22, 2020 to March 10, 2023 remain freely accessible, and the raw data stay public through the project’s GitHub repositories. The map linked here therefore documents roughly three years of reported cases and deaths, compiled under the testing and reporting practices of each place at the time.Sources: Johns Hopkins University Hub: Coronavirus Resource Center ending tracking (February 2023)
