In week ending June 28, local indicators for influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remained minimal. Sentinel laboratory surveillance reported an increase in specimens positive for COVID-19, but indicators of severe illness (emergency department visits and hospitalizations) remained minimal. Regional laboratory surveillance most frequently detected COVID-19 among clinical respiratory specimens.

 

Fewer than 10 emergency department (ED) visits were attributable to influenza, COVID-19, or to RSV. Kitsap sentinel reporting labs reported 27 positive COVID-19 tests (8.4% of specimens tested), 6 positive influenza tests (3 influenza A, 3 influenza B; 2.5% of specimens tested), and 0 positive RSV tests (0.0% of specimens tested).


On average, fewer than 10 hospital beds at St. Michael Medical Center were in use per day for COVID-19 or influenza patients.


At Kitsap long-term care facilities, there has been one COVID-19 outbreak reported in the past four reporting weeks, and no influenza outbreaks.
