COVID-19 Scientific and Public Health Policy Update – (10 November 2021)

In addition to the Weekly Outbreak Brief and other documents on the spread of COVID-19 and the actions that the African Union/Africa CDC and WHO/AFRO are taking to help African Union Member States, we share a biweekly brief detailing the latest developments in scientific knowledge and public health policy from around the world, as well as updates to the latest guidance from Africa CDC, WHO and other public health agencies. Contents of this document are not intended to serve as recommendations from the African Union-Africa CDC or WHO/AFRO; rather, it is a summary of the scientific information available in the public space to Member States. It is important to note that the outbreak is evolving rapidly and that the nature of this information will continue to change. We will provide regular updates to ensure Member States are informed of the most critical developments in these areas.

Welcome to our Epidemic Intelligence Weekly Report, your trusted source for real-time updates on priority events of concern on the continent. The narrative brought to you focuses on three main areas: the epidemiological situation, event assessment (risk assessment and geoscope) and public health interventions by the affected Member State, partners, and Africa CDC. Every week we highlight events reported to Africa CDC that rank from moderate to very high risk as per the Africa CDC risk assessment tool.

Geographic Focus: Reports could either focus on events affecting single country or multiple countries.

Inclusion criteria: While Africa CDC continues to track all public health events on the continent, this report highlights only moderate to very high-risk events (with new updates in the reporting week).

Events: We focus on a range of health threats, ranging from emerging infectious diseases to endemic conditions, and natural disasters. We follow a one-health multisectoral approach highlighting events across all relevant sectors: animal, environmental and human.

This Event-Based Surveillance Weekly Report is your compass for navigating Africa’s public health landscape. We empower you with the latest information and insights, for informed decisions and effective interventions to attain a healthy and prosperous Africa.

Stay informed. Stay vigilant. Stay safe.
