Respiratory Illness Data Dashboard | Washington State Department of Health – Washington State Department of Health

Website Last Updated 3:01 PM 12/6/2023 Data shown as of previous day at 11:59 pm PT.

These dashboards show trends in Washington state for COVID-19, influenza (flu), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The data on these dashboards help us monitor early signs of disease spread, severity of illness, vaccination rates, virus variants or subtypes occurring in Washington, and hospital bed use due to COVID-19, flu, and RSV.

Instead of showing data by individual counties, these dashboards use larger regional areas calledAccountable Communities of Health (ACH).This change was made because sometimes there is not enough data reported from the county level to display publicly while maintaining an individuals privacy.See which ACH region covers your county.

Additional COVID-19 hospital admission data at the county level is available in theCDC COVID Data Tracker: Maps by Geographic Area.

Wednesday, December 6, 2023: Laboratory data for influenza is current through November 25, 2023. Death data for COVID-19, RSV, and influenza are current through November 25, 2023. All other data on this dashboard are current through December 2, 2023.

Information shown below is for the most recent week with complete data.

Every day, acute care hospitals in Washington report their COVID-19 patient occupancy to the Department of Health through WA-HEALTH, a hospital data collection system developed in partnership with the Washington State Hospital Association. The table below shows the total number of hospital beds occupied by patients with confirmed COVID-19 and influenza, and a subset of patients who occupy beds in intensive care units (ICUs). Data shown below are the most recent complete data available.

The Department of Health (DOH) provides detailed notes to help you understand the Respiratory Disease Dashboard data for COVID-19, Influenza (flu), and RSV. We present information for the following categories of data:

For each category, there may be detailed information on the data source, data lags and limitations, definitions, calculations, and additional resources and references. For more information about the Respiratory Illness Dashboard data, email DOH-CDS-Surveillance@doh.wa.gov.

Health disparities are gaps in the quality of health and health care that mirror differences in social factors such as economic status, racial and ethnic background, gender, age, and education level.

Health disparities on the Respiratory Illness Data Dashboard can be observed when looking at different demographic factors such as age, sex, and race/ethnicity. An explanation of these factors and some of the health disparities observed for the respiratory illness displayed on this dashboard are described below.

To protect individual privacy, some very small counts and rates in a given category are not shared. Counts for some age categories may be small, especially in small counties. Therefore, we do not report counts if there are less than 10 in a category. We take additional measures to prevent recalculating these small counts by reporting data in related columns and rows. This data is not included in dashboard tables and downloadable files. Our policy for reporting small numbers (PDF) balances privacy protection with the publics need for data.

Due to the current lack of Small Area Estimates from Office of Financial Management (OFM), the population data used to calculate rates in this dashboard come from the Population Interim Estimates (PIE) developed by Public Health-Seattle and King County (PHSKC). Because we have applied PIE to historic data, some COVID-19 rates will be different from what we published previously.
