The 2024-25 season, shown with a red line on the chart, has included a sharp increase in doctor's visits for respiratory illness in recent weeks, with the most recent data point (December 28) close to the peaks for the 2023-24 season (in orange) and the 2022-23 season (in pink).

  • Two state-by-state maps of the U.S., color-coded according to infectious disease trends. Dark purple represents infections are growing, light purple is likely growing, gray is not changing, light green is likely declining, dark green is declining, white is not estimated. The map on the left, showing COVID-19 trends, is a mix of light and dark purple with some gray. Text at the top reads: "As of December 17, 2024, we estimate that COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in 36 states, declining or likely declining in 0 states, and not changing in 11 states." The map on the right, showing flu trends, is almost entirely dark purple.

    National COVID-19 trends, December 24

  • Title: "This chart shows national and regional trends of wastewater viral activity levels of SARS-COV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19)." The chart is set to show data from the last six months, or June to early December 2024. It shows a major surge across regions (highest in the West coast) over the summer, followed by a plateau over October and November, and recently a new, stark uptick in disease levels. The Midwest has the highest levels and most prominent increase compared to other regions.

  • Line chart showing national average SARS-CoV-2 levels in U.S. wastewater over time, October 2023 through December 2024. The title reads, "SARS–CoV–2, All Wastewater Sites." The Y axis shows quantity of nucleic acids, PMMoV Normalized x 1 million, and the X axis shows sample collection date. The chart shows a major wave in fall 2023-early 2024 and a second one in summer 2024, followed by a moderate plateau over October and November. Disease levels started going up again at the end of November.

  • Two state-by-state maps are presented side by side. In both, states are colored according to epidemic trends: growing and likely growing in dark and light purple, declining and likely declining in dark and light green, not changing in gray, not estimated in white.
