Fewer than 10 emergency department (ED) visits were attributable to COVID-19, influenza, or to RSV. Kitsap sentinel reporting labs reported seven positive COVID-19 tests (1.3% of specimens tested), 19 positive influenza tests (19 influenza A, 0 influenza B; 3.9% of specimens tested), and seven positive RSV tests (6.1% of specimens tested).
