An ACT Government Website

ACT Health monitors influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and COVID-19 that is confirmed in a laboratory in the ACT.

A COVID-19 statistics dashboard is available on the ACT COVID-19 website. Information is updated weekly.

Key information

Notification data only includes cases of influenza, RSV and COVID-19 among ACT residents that have been confirmed by a laboratory test.

Generally, notification data represent only a small proportion of cases occurring in the community. All data are preliminary and subject to change as updates are received.

Reporting of acute respiratory illness surveillance has changed since 2020, to incorporate data available for COVID-19 and RSV.
