Dear Nana,

Thank you very much for provided data.  I acknowledge  that they reflect data until  17 September, while in the questionnaire last
question is  requiring g number of tests conducted from 7 to 21 September “How many tests conducted in the last 2 weeks, from 7 September to 21 September?”

I will verify with my colleagues whether this question foresees data including 21 September and come back to you. I also understand
that you will not be able to provide data of 21 September until 23 September.

Enjoy the weekend,

Nika
