FRONT PAGE

An article on Tuesday about a unity government formed in Israel by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz referred imprecisely to West Bank territory that Mr. Netanyahu would like to annex. The land is occupied by Israel. The Palestinians want it for a future state, but do not have sovereignty over it.

TRACKING AN OUTBREAK

An article on Wednesday about the problems many independent restaurateurs have had in getting federal small-business relief misidentified the advocacy group that Thomas Keller and other chefs have formed to get insurance companies to pay claims for Covid-related shutdowns. It is the Business Interruption Group, not the Business Interruption Organization.

NATIONAL

An article on Wednesday about the effects of President Trump’s decision to suspend some green cards misstated the position that Brad Smith holds at Microsoft. He is the company’s president, not its chief executive. It also misstated the number of employment-based green cards granted in 2018. It was 140,000, not 14,000.

An article on Wednesday about a new Senate report that undercuts claims by President Trump that Obama-era officials sought to undermine him while investigating Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election misstated the day the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report. It was Tuesday, not Thursday.

BUSINESS

An article on Monday about the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the meat industry misstated the amount of meat in cold storage. There are hundreds of millions of pounds of beef, chicken and pork in storage, not hundreds of millions of tons.

SPORTS

An article on Saturday about a public act of racism directed at the New York Rangers player K’Andre Miller described incorrectly the preparation leading up to a videoconference call on April 4 that included Renee Hess and Kim Davis, an N.H.L. executive. Hess asked Davis about her thoughts on the harassment of Miller for the first time while on a call organized by the Black Girls Hockey Club; Hess did not reach out by email ahead of the call to ask if Davis would address the Miller incident during it.

SCIENCE TIMES

An article on Tuesday about misinformation that arises from scientific research posted on preprint servers and read by the nonscientific community referred imprecisely to the posting of and subsequent revisions to a paper that studied how the new coronavirus endures on surfaces and in aerosols. While language in an introductory paragraph to the paper posted on medRxiv was revised, the authors did not back away from the central conclusions of their research.

OBITUARIES

An obituary on Tuesday about the restaurateur Sirio Maccioni, using information from a family friend, misstated the number of grandchildren who survive him. There are five, not two.
