| Week 53 (25/12 – 31/12) |
Latest data reported by sentinel PMP clinics showed the consultation rate for influenza-like illness has decreased.
The CHP monitors the overall activity of common infectious diseases through a series of surveillance systems. The overall influenza activity in Hong Kong remained low. Please refer to Flu Express at http://www.chp.gov.hk/en/guideline1_year/29/134/441/304.html for details. |
