```

Date of case for cases, date of hospital entry for hospitalisations and the date of death for deaths.
The date of case is constructed taking the earliest available of:
the date of swab, the date of test, and the date the report arrived at the FOPH.
Generally, the date of case corresponds to the date the swab was taken.
