October is the official start of the flu season. I will be posting data related to respiratory illness trends here. I will get this information from the IDPH dashboard as they provide it. This includes data related to Flu, Covid-19, Acute Respiratory Illness, and RSV .
This shows that currently Respiratory Illness Activity within Illinois is currently very LOW.
As we progress into the season, remember to wash hands frequently as this is one of our best defenses!
