Cases are on the rise! FluTracking HK crowdsourced #COVID community monitoring will be best guide to HK COVID rates when lab PCR tests are overwhelmed. @lauriechenwords @hongkong_news @FishMonkeyCow_ @AshleyDudarenok @anitacheunghk @ofarry @judychan45 @dominictsz @gmleunghku🧵1/6

FluTracking HK’s 400 participants complete a 20 second online survey on respiratory illness every week. The FluTracking website shows respiratory illness rates are rapidly rising.

FluTracking tracks self-reported testing (by #PCR and RATs) to help estimate true COVID-19 rates in the community when there are fewer laboratory PCR tests done.

FluTracking also asks how sick people are (how many days off normal duties) so it helps to track severity of illness. Please share the link with your friends. flutracking.wixsite.com/flutracking

Of course, FluTracking is not just for those who are unwell, we need people community wide (young, old, sick, well, etc.) to get a better idea of respiratory illness levels. flutracking.wixsite.com/flutracking
