reported cases
Officially logged occurrences
Reported cases are instances of something—typically diseases, crimes, or other tracked phenomena—that have been formally documented by authorities.
The term implicitly acknowledges that actual numbers may be higher: Reported cases of COVID-19 rose sharply, though many infections went undetected.
In legal contexts, reported cases are court decisions published in official law reports.
