Covid-19

  • Line chart titled, "Percentage of Outpatient Visits for Respiratory Illness Reported by the U.S. Outpatient Influenza-like Illness Surveillance Network (ILINet), Weekly National Summary, 2024-25 Season and Selected Previous Seasons." The Y axis shows % of visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) while the X axis shows time in the flu season. ILI visits have been increasing over the last few weeks, as shown with a red line on the chart (2024-25 season), and are progressing similarly to the 2019-20 season (light blue line). The most recent data point, about 2.7%, is close to the threshold for flu season at 3%.

The most recent two values on the chart are marked with a dashed line to indicate provisional data.
