MATLAB: CSV date column is imported as NaN

Question

Respected colleagues …

I have imported data from a csv file (John Hopkins).

The date column header (starting from 5th column till end) is imported as NaN ?

Date format is MM/DD/YY

My code is as below (under Matlab2020b)

==============================================================

url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv';
fileinf= 'time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv';
websave(fileinf,url);
dataset = readtable('time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv');

=============================================================

Your assistance in this regard is appreciated. Regards
