Describe the bug
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk presents a generic Azure's certificate, which is not valid for this domain. The issue is made worse by HSTS. Even though HSTS does not appear to be enabled at the moment several devices that I own remember it from earlier and refuse to even add an exception.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Go to https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk
  2. See error

Expected behaviour
A valid certificate is expected

Correction: I claimed that api.coronavirus.data.gov.uk was affected. This is incorrect and the certificate there is valid. I was confused by the redirect from there to coronavirus.data.gov.uk. I corrected the description of the bug now.

This is now fixed.
