They did a bid data readjustment on worldometers - Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #4

The number of new cases from mid-March to present were each adjusted by between 1 and 250 new cases.
Depending on where the news gets their data from, comparing unadjusted prior day's numbers to today's numbers or vice versa might explain the difference.

The 47,341 is accurate (once I replicated the data adjustment to prior days)
