Weekly rates of COVID-19, influenza, and RSV hospitalizations by season
The Respiratory Virus Hospitalization Surveillance Network (RESP-NET) is a partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and 13 sites throughout the United States, including Minnesota. RESP-NET comprises three platforms that conduct population-based surveillance for laboratory-confirmed hospitalizations associated with COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) among children and adults. Minnesota RESP-NET data include hospitalized patients with COVID-19, influenza and RSV among residents of the 7-county metropolitan area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington counties). To align data trends for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV, MDH is now looking at respiratory illness data for a full year rather than just in the fall/winter months. Each new respiratory season will start in early October and reporting will happen year-round.
