This report includes notifications for Queensland and overseas residents diagnosed with COVID-19, influenza or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in Queensland. Interstate residents diagnosed in Queensland are excluded from this report.

The number of persons hospitalised is a count of persons known to have the acute respiratory illness and to have been in a Queensland public hospital on that day.

Data are current at the time of this report. The total number of notifications may change day to day due to regular data quality activities and because additional cases have been notified to Queensland Health. This is a normal feature of live surveillance data.
