About

The Infectious Diseases Weekly Report (IDWR) is Japan's national disease surveillance bulletin published by the Japan Institute for Health Security (JIHS, formerly NIID). Based on the Act on the Prevention of Infectious Diseases and Medical Care for Patients with Infectious Diseases, IDWR compiles weekly reports from thousands of designated sentinel clinics and hospitals across Japan's 47 prefectures, tracking categories I through V notifiable diseases.

Through Fibric, an operator references weekly Japanese prefectural infection counts and sentinel consultation baselines, proposing proactive workforce staffing reserves, local office health precautions, and executive travel notices across facilities in Japan.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from Infectious Diseases Weekly Report (IDWR) and what it could propose, based on the publisher's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Weekly reported case counts for Category I through Category V notifiable diseases under Japanese infectious disease law
  • Sentinel clinic patient counts and per-sentinel indices for respiratory pathogens including influenza, COVID-19, and RSV
  • Prefectural breakdown across all 47 Japanese prefectures identifying localized transmission clusters
  • Gastrointestinal pathogen surveillance covering norovirus, rotavirus, and enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC)
  • Structured downloadable tabular data tables and weekly PDF surveillance summaries hosted on id-info.jihs.go.jp

Proposed actions

Read-only. This feed informs operators; it changes nothing.

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Adjust Japanese regional office staffing during seasonal flu waves

    Monitor prefectural sentinel influenza consultation indices, proposing adjusted on-site attendance policies and flexible shift rotations for Japanese facilities in high-activity prefectures.

    With Shift Coverage, Open Shift Offer

  • Enforce kitchen sanitation during norovirus gastroenteritis seasons

    Track weekly infectious gastroenteritis sentinel counts across Japanese prefectures, proposing increased surface disinfection cycles for commercial food services and hospitality operations.

Authentication
None. The IDWR surveillance tables and reports on the JIHS portal are freely accessible without authentication, keys, or registration.
