About the Infectious Diseases Dashboard

The Infectious Diseases Dashboard presents the numbers and rates of lab-confirmed infectious diseases required to be reported to the Health Unit under the Health Protection and Promotion Act (HPPA), also referred to as Diseases of Public Health Significance (DOPHS). These include  more than 70 diseases, from respiratory infections (e.g., COVID-19, Influenza), sexually-transmitted infections (e.g., AIDS/HIV, chlamydia), vaccine-preventable diseases (e.g., measles, pertussis) and vector-borne diseases (i.e. rabies, Lyme).  

By default, the data is presented for the HKPR District Health Unit area but can be filtered to one of the three counties (County of Haliburton, City of Kawartha Lakes, and Northumberland County). 

The Infectious Diseases Dashboard is updated monthly.
