Seasonal Spread of Rubella Across Kenya

Caption

Using mobile phone data, the researchers constructed these maps to characterize rubella fluxes across the country. Section A shows the risk of rubella during a major holiday and school-term break. Section B shows the risk of rubella while school is in session. Most provinces have lower risks during the school year with higher outbreak rates during breaks and holidays.
