Brits will soon have access to a new online dashboard that will allow them to track Covid, flu, and other respiratory virus outbreaks. The dashboard, set to launch later this month, aims to increase public health awareness by providing data on a range of viruses alongside existing Covid updates. It will replace the current Covid dashboard and will be published by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). The original site will be decommissioned once the new dashboard is fully operational. The move comes as the UKHSA plans to ramp up Covid testing and community surveillance ahead of the winter season. The current Covid dashboard was highly regarded in the early stages of the pandemic, offering detailed outbreak information. However, it was watered down last year as part of the government’s “living with Covid” plan. The new dashboard will initially focus on Covid, flu, and several respiratory viruses. User feedback will be welcomed to improve its layout, and future updates may include data on other pathogens. The UKHSA believes that harnessing data will enable them to continue protecting public health. The dashboard will provide information available to everyone, transforming public debate and allowing for new perspectives and projects. The launch of the new dashboard comes as concerns grow about a surge in Covid cases during the colder months. The UKHSA brought forward the start date for Covid and flu jab rollouts to mitigate the impact. The recently discovered Pirola variant has also raised concerns, with cases confirmed in England. The true scale of the outbreak is unknown, but experts believe the variant is highly transmissible. No deaths have been reported so far.
