A new comprehensive respiratory illness dashboard is now available online on Hastings Prince Edward Public Health’s website.
Information regarding the incidence of Covid 19, influenza, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) will be updated on Tuesdays.
For the week of September 22 through 28 there were two new cases of Covid 19 reported, none for influenza or RSV.
Meanwhile eight people were being treated in hospital for Covid 19, down from twelve the week before. One person was in hospital with
the flu.
There were three hundred visits to emergency departments by people with respiratory issues, up from 247 the week before.
Two new Covid 19 outbreaks were announced bringing the total to six. All are for Covid 19. Of the six five are in long term care or
retirement homes and one is in the Quinte 5 unit at Belleville General Hospital.
Data only includes cases reported to public health so numbers will be lower than those actually being experienced in the community.
