A popular online resource has returned to the Southwestern Public Health website.
The Respiratory Virus Activity Dashboard provides real-time updates on the spread of influenza, RSV and COVID-19 in the community.
The tool allows users to stay informed about current trends and insights on how the spread of viruses changes week by week.
This week the flu risk is low, however the COVID-19 overall risk is very high.
Joanne Andrews, Manager of Infectious Diseases at the health unit stresses the dashboard helps the public make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
You can find the tool at swpublichealth.ca.
