Dear Padam,

Thanks Calle, Jason and Knut for clarifying on this.

I am using DHIS2 for outbreak detection algorithms and I have not seen much
difference if you stick to the ISO weeks which is standard. The only thing
you need to keep in mind is for cases which occur daily, you must always
aggregate them daily and must fall in that ISO week until Sunday at
Midnight.
