Patients are piling up in Minnesota emergency rooms once again, but it’s not just from COVID-19. State health officials say influenza is making a comeback, combining with COVID, norovirus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) to put more pressure on Minnesota hospitals than they’ve faced since the end of the pandemic.

If you've woken up with sweaty palms, shaky hands and a grumbling stomach begging for relief, you're not alone. The new year brought a warm winter, new habits and an uptick of norovirus — commonly called the stomach flu.

Common and highly contagious illnesses are reaching several-month highs. Norovirus has almost reached a several-year record.

Influenza A, COVID-19 and norovirus (stomach flu) are on the rise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But there's a fourth "bug" the public should be aware of: respiratory syncytial virus. RSV causes cold-like symptoms and affects the breathing passages and lungs.

Respiratory diseases are on the rise in Oneida County and beyond. The county has provided tips to keep you and your family healthy.

Respiratory viruses are on the rise in Brevard, though not at a rate higher than previous years, according to local health systems.
