Dear colleagues,

Thank you to all countries that have transition to the new integrated recordtypes in TESSy for respiratory surveillance data over the past months! We want to inform you that it will not be possible to report data beyond 2025-W14 to INFLVIRAGGR, NCOVAGGR and NCOVTEST. Data previously reported to these recordtypes for 2025-W15 and beyond will need to be reported to RESPIAGGR, RESPISEVERE and/or RESPISURV.

For those countries that have not transitioned, please make sure to move reporting to RESPIAGGR, RESPISEVERE and/or RESPISURV as soon as possible. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the WHO Regional Office for Europe (WHO/Europe) continue to be available to assist in case you have any questions about the transition.

Updating historic data in INFLVIRAGGR, NCOVAGGR and NCOVTEST will remain possible until mid-May. After mid-May, the historic data in the old recordtypes will be frozen and any historic updates would need to be made through the new recordtypes.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] and [email protected] with any questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

The WHO/Europe and ECDC Respiratory Virus Surveillance Teams
