Now, we are introducing
which allows you to conveniently track for each member of your family. One easy to view page allows you to track for the ages, most important illnesses and locations of each family member.
Doctors Report Beach Index
The Beach Index is the most current illness severity level at your beach town.
Is stomach flu unusually bad at your beach town in the last week or two?
YES if the score is above 5 (average) or heading toward 10 ( very high).
Usually we track based on full years of history. But beach towns are different so the Doctors Report Beach Index are based on years of SUMMER history.
Beach Index high? Take special precautions with other people and the water and surfaces they touch. See
Prevention.
For swimming pools, see special
CDC advice here.
