Flu and Covid levels to be monitored in weekly report

Levels of respiratory illness on the Island this winter will be monitored in a new weekly report.

It will highlight rates of flu, Covid-19 and respiratory syncytial virus using data from Public Health.

The number of relevant illnesses recorded at GPs or the Manx Emergency Doctors Service, flu, and Covid vaccination statistics will also be shown.

The aim of the report is to help the government forecast the wider impact of winter illnesses and raise awareness across the Island. 

The report will be updated every Friday.
