Summary

Health department staff reminded the board that respiratory‑virus season has begun, with a high category signal for SARS‑CoV‑2 in wastewater and influenza‑like illness trending upward in routine surveillance.

Dr. Seeglass opened the Board of Health item on surveillance by reminding members that respiratory‑virus season has begun and that wastewater monitoring shows high levels for SARS‑CoV‑2.

The department said influenza‑like illness (ILI) data and wastewater SARS‑CoV‑2 signals are trending up, consistent with seasonal expectations. The packet includes a snapshot of ILI data and wastewater results (packet page 47), and staff asked board members to monitor trends but did not propose any immediate operational changes.

No board action was taken; this item was presented as an informational surveillance update.
