Which data is inaccurate or missing?

The value of new deaths has been zero since December 5. All derived values (e.g. 7-day average) are also affected.

Why do you think the data is inaccurate or missing?

UK government dashboard indicates death reporting is continuing, at least for the member countries (e.g. England):

Hi @Mike-Honey,
Thanks for your message.

Note that you are comparing the UK with England. For the same dashboard for the UK, there has been no data since May 2022: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths?areaType=overview&areaName=United%20Kingdom.

We report the data for the UK and all countries based on https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19. Based on the issue CSSEGISandData/COVID-19#6440, there has been a break in data reporting due to the winter holidays. Hopefully new data comes in soon.
