==Wikimedia Foundation updates==

- WMF Tech and Research teams are tracking all Mediawiki-related COVID-related bug reports and feature requests in Phabricator (with the covid-19 tag): https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/4648/ – anyone can submit issues and requests to this tag (or ask a WMF staffer for help if you're unfamiliar with Phabricator).

==Feedback==

Any additional feedback (ie: data latency issues or inaccuracies on Google’s reporting of COVID-19 data).

- On March 31, Wikipedians noticed that Greenland was not highlighted on the Google map visualization as having any cases, likely because Greenland and Denmark were not separated in the 2019–20_coronavirus_pandemic_data template – this appears to have been fixed.
