From Susan Dubb, Public Health Nurse:
This is your weekly flu update…reports are still coming in regularly. As of today I have a total of 336 reports (85 “A” Strain and 250 “B” Strain). For clarification, the MMWR Week 4 is the week ending January 25th…so there’s probably more reports that will arrive as the week progresses, but I received 33 today alone!
The 18-49 age group continues to be the age group most heavily impacted by this year’s flu season, but our 5-17 year old residents are in a close second position…
The message continues to be…wash your hands, stay home if you’re sick and, get your flu shot! (It’s not too late)
Here’s the latest charts that highlight the flu activity within the Uncas Health District.
Timeline PhotosCDC has confirmed the first human infection with 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in the United States has been detected in the State of Washington in a person who had recently traveled to Wuhan, China. A lab test developed at CDC was used to confirm this patient’s illness was caused by the recently discovered 2019 novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan City, China. Precautions are being taken to prevent any further exposures.
While person-to-person spread with this new coronavirus in Asia raises CDC’s level of concern, the agency continues to believe the risk of #2019-nCoV to the American public at large remains low at this time. Learn more about what CDC is doing to respond: bit.ly/3apDji6
