India: 13 chickenpox outbreaks in week 5 of 2019, the most since week 8 of 2018.

For chickenpox outbreaks, neither a rise nor a fall is better in itself, so the observatory marks this movement as unusual rather than good or bad.

48 consecutive earlier weeks were lower. It extends a run of new highests that began earlier.
