MPox_Review Kenya Confirmed Case Data #40

Closed JacqSauer closed 2 months ago

JacqSauer commented 2 months ago

The WHO (2024-09-03) and Africa CDC (2024-08-31) reports state that there are 4 confirmed cases in Kenya (see screenshots attached). Our line list only contains two confirmed cases (ID 14392 (confirmation date 2024-07-12) and ID 18827 (confirmation date 2024-08-23)). The only Mpox situation update from Kenya on 2024-08-16 states that there was only one confirmed case in the country which has recovered (outcome = recovered has been updated in our line list). I recommend adding two additional confirmed cases in Kenya to our line list, but we will need to go back and check the Kenya MOH Twitter account to find the additional two cases that have been reported since 2024-08-23 and 2024-08-31.
