Note:
* In January 2022, the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health revised the figures of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) according to the date of reporting of the cases. On January 30, 2023, the Government revised the reporting criteria of COVID-19 under which doctors only need to report severe and fatal cases to the CHP.
Remarks:
Persons affected in Food poisoning outbreaks were excluded in the monthly total and grand total.
The figures in the most recent months are provisional and would be revised based on updated information.
