i have written an R script which allow me to plot the number of Covid-10 cases reported by he state of Ohio. In that se t of data the date format is in the form yyyy-mm-dd.

My script uses:

datebreaks <- seq(as.Date("2020-01-01"), as.Date("2020-08-10"), by="1 week")
           .
           .
           .
      + scale_x_date(breaks=datebreaks)
      + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle=30, hjust=1))

to plot the data.

The COVID Tracking Project publishes considerably more data than does the state of Ohio. However, The project supplies daily statistics using the date format YYYYMMDD.I have done some searching, but I can't seem to find a solution (that I can understand).

How can I change the date forma from YYYYMMDD tp YYYY-MM-DD?

Thanks is advanced.
