In other words, a report of cumulative number on one day may comprise one or more individual reports of specific cases from previous days;in some reports, the numbers were approximations. • • Where possible, we have tried to differentiate between individual and batch reports. Date or dates of revocation events — the dates given relate to date reported, not the specific date or time frame when the revocation took place.
