This graph plots the number (each blue data point or dot) of newly confirmed cases in each World Health Organization situation report of summary. The joining lines don't mean anything (the WHO doesn't provide any numbers to place between dots)- they just make it cleared how think go up and down. You can see a little about Monday'itis and its role in the bumpy road to zero cases here.
I've zoomed in the graph to highlight distinct data points (thanks to Ramon i.e. @HlthAnalysis for helping me learn to make the separately coloured dots I missed so much from my Excel graphs). Without the zooming we can see from the full dataset that it's getting a bit hard to see each data point as time goes by, and case numbers shrink (yay!).
