| Week 52 (24/12 – 30/12) |
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 overall influenza activity slightly increased but remained below the seasonal epidemic threshold.
