Below are plots showing Influenza and Covid data for previous and current years. These data are only cases that are reported to the Health Department. Flu cases are only reported during "Flu Season", so the graph runs from October to June. Covid-19 cases are reported year-round. Data must be processed, so most current data is from the previous epi week, Sunday through Saturday.
