The arrow indicates the beginning of the exponential growth around May 6. The shaded area shows the period of the study (June 24 to July 22, 2020), about five weeks into the exponential growth period. Note the difference between the data provided by the independent Citizen Observatory (top curve) [https://observatorioni.org/estadisticas-covid-19-nicaragua/] and the official data registered weekly (instead of daily) by the Nicaraguan Ministry of Health (MINSA) and reported by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) [https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/nicaragua]. SARS-CoV-2 = severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019.
