Wisconsin Department of Health Services surveillance data indicate a significant increase in non-COVID respiratory illnesses during June 2021, specifically respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza and seasonal coronaviruses. It is unusual to see high incidence of these viruses at this time of year. Everyday actions that prevent the spread of COVID-19, can also prevent the spread of other respiratory illnesses. Wash your hands often with soap and water, cover coughs and sneezes, and stay home when you are sick.
