03/07/24 – The Wheeling-Ohio County Health Department is reporting that levels of Influenza A & B and Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are elevated (HIGH) in the local community as well as nationally.  Other respiratory issues that are circulating at an elevated level include COVID.  The health department is also reporting that levels of Norovirus and Rotavirus (all gastrointestinal pathogens) are also elevated for Ohio County. Also identified is Candida auris (C.auris), which is a type of yeast that can cause severe illness and spreads easily among patients in healthcare facilities. It is often resistant to antifungal treatments, which means that the medications that are designed to kill the fungus and stop infections do not work.
