Similar issue with Tokyo prefecture at least. I expect other JP sources.

Issue is arcgis 10,000 limit. There’s an open pr to fix.

Hi there, I'm maintaining a website of COVID-19 in Japan, the data are collected by myself, from real-time news report and also from MHLW every day. Maybe you could consider use my dataset.

Hi @swsoyee , thank you very much for the offer! We're currently only using official government and accredited sources (JHU, NYT, etc), so we won't take you up on the offer for this project. Best of luck, and thank you again!

We're having trouble keeping up with the changes in data sets, which is why our response to this is lagging. Cheers! jz
