"Health Departments Introduce Comprehensive Respiratory Illness Data Dashboards, Including COVID-19"
The Washington State Department of Health has launched a new Respiratory Illness Data Dashboard, which replaces the COVID-19 Data Dashboard. The new dashboard allows people to track COVID-19, flu, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease activity by region across the state. It includes data from previous years for clearer comparisons and will be updated weekly through April 2024. The department hopes that the dashboard will inform communities and guide personal decision-making on prevention measures.
