In late July 24, #Burundi, #Rwanda, & #Uganda reported confirmed cases of mpox, with some cases having linkages to DRC. Rwanda & Uganda have confirmed these cases are due to clade I MPXV; in Burundi, clade-specific testing is underway, but cases are presumed to be clade I due to DRC’s proximity. Mpox is not known to be endemic in these countries.
