Reports and Updates
Also known as the Manitoba Monthly Surveillance Unit Report, epiSummary provides a monthly review of reportable diseases in Manitoba. It includes information such as the current number of cases vs. the three-year average; the current monthly rate vs. the three-year average; the current monthly count broken down by RHA; and, the number of year-to-date cases. Reports before December 2013 are further broken down by age and gender.
Surveillance data is used to identify and monitor the arrival of influenza, its geographic spread, intensity of activity, characteristics of those infected, as well as severity and changing trends in order to guide prevention and control recommendations.
Within each season you will find weekly reports that provide a “snapshot” of the current influenza activity. At the end of each season is an “end of season report” which presents an overview of the influenza season in question. The influenza season generally runs from October to May of each year.
Manitoba provides data and analyses towards the Canadian Chronic Disease Surveillance System funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada. Through this initiative, Epidemiology and Surveillance uses administrative data to better understand the burden of non-communicable diseases within the province. If a report is not listed for a topic you are interested in, please do not hesitate to contact the team for assistance.
