Week 17 (21/4 – 27/4) |
Latest data reported by sentinel PMP clinics showed the consultation rate for influenza-like illness has increased. The CHP monitors the overall activity of common infectious diseases through a series of surveillance systems. The latest surveillance data showed that local seasonal influenza activity persisted at a high level and it is believed that the current influenza season would persist for a period of time.
