With peak season for respiratory illnesses like the flu and COVID-19 approaching, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health on Thursday launched a refreshed dashboard to track trends and provide the public with helpful information focused on COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial syndrome (RSV).
