Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Case Definitions

Syndrome Case Definition Alert Threshold

Acute Fever and Rash (AFR)

Fever plus rash(non-blistering) 1 case if there is a measles outbreak.

Prolonged fever (PF)

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Diarrhoea 3 or more loose or watery stools in 24 hours (non- bloody)

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Suspected dengue Fever for at least 2 days, plus at least two of the following: i. Nausea or vomiting; ii. Muscle or joint pain; iii. Severe headache or pain behind the eyes; iv. Rash; v. Bleeding

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 3 weeks

Severe acute respiratory infection, requiring hospitalisation (SARI)

Sudden onset of fever above 38°C, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and requiring hospitalization.

Twice moving average in 2 weeks

COVID - 19 Twice moving average in 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.

Fever for 3 days or more Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Influenza-like illness (ILI)

An acute respiratory infection with: measured fever of ≥ 38 C° and cough; with onset within the last 10 days.

Twice the average number of cases seen in the previous 2 weeks

Alert thresholds Please note that the alert thresholds have been set in EWARS and you will receive instant email notification once you have surpassed the alert threshold. New Indicators ∙

∙ COVID-19 one (1) case, this is as the case definition set to identify suspected COVID- 19 including Multi-system Inflammatory cases in children. In addition, use the EBS to report details. ∙ SARI The alert threshold for SARI is set at one (1) case to increase sensitivity for its investigation as a suspected COVID-19 case and hence require laboratory confirmation or exclusion.

Once you do receive an alert, you need to follow the link to verify the alert – enter brief notes to say what the cases were, what has been done to the cases (investigation, treatment) or any other cases regarding the cases – age, gender, residence, hospitalized or not? The alerts are set to auto-discard after 2 days if no action has been taken. In addition, there are now forms available on EWARS for reporting Event Based Surveillance (EBS). Please use these to report any unusual disease patterns/symptoms, unexpected deaths, disease or deaths in animals or anything that is of concern

Notes:

The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was started in 2010. With the support of the Pacific Community, it collects sentinel surveillance data on 4 syndromes (including one optional), from 23 Pacific Island Countries and areas. The aim is to monitor trends and to trigger alerts to rapidly detect and respond to suspected outbreaks. In 2017, the system was moved to an online platform called EWARS. Data is entered online by country focal points and is then analysed using an online application. This bulletin has been published automatically from EWARS.

Le système de surveillance de la syndromie du Pacifique (PSSS) a été lancé en 2010. Avec le soutien de la Communauté du Pacifique, il collecte des données de surveillance sentinelle sur 4 syndromes (dont un optionnel), provenant de 23 pays insulaires du Pacifique. L'objectif est de surveiller les tendances et de déclencher des alertes pour détecter et répondre rapidement aux épidémies présumées. En 2017, le système a été transféré vers une plate-forme en ligne appelée EWARS. Les données sont entrées en ligne par points focaux de pays et sont ensuite analysées à l'aide d'une application en ligne. Ce bulletin a été publié automatiquement à partir d'EWARS.
