Changes to when we publish influenza and RSV data

As of 9 October, positivity metrics for influenza, RSV and other respiratory viruses will be updated weekly and the publication of healthcare metrics will resume for influenza and RSV. For more information, please see reporting changes over winter period.

Entry title:

Other respiratory viruses

Last updated on Thursday, 9 October 2025 at 04:35pm

Metrics on this page have not been updated

Metrics on this page have not been fully updated as a result of a data processing issue. Metrics will be updated once the issue has been resolved.

Other common respiratory viruses include adenovirus, human metapneumovirus (hMPV), parainfluenza and rhinovirus.

The healthcare data we have for other respiratory viruses comes from a sentinel surveillance system (a data collection method used to monitor trends). This means the healthcare data is not a count of every person being treated for the respiratory virus in hospital. Find out more about data collection for other respiratory viruses.

During the autumn and the winter we update metrics for other respiratory viruses every Thursday at 4pm.
