DPH is providing this new Respiratory Disease Watch report to make expanded surveillance data available to inform the public about the activity of respiratory diseases that commonly circulate together each fall.
Each year, DPH and U.S. public health experts monitor influenza (flu) and other diseases. This activity is called disease surveillance.
Flu surveillance allows DPH and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to see what impact flu is having on the health of residents. Learn more about how surveillance helps us.
