Covid-19

  • Map of the U.S. by state, with states color-coded according to their influenza-like illness (ILI) activity level. Most states are colored in purple or red to indicate very high or high levels of flu-like disease. Text below the map read: "*This map uses the proportion of outpatient visits to healthcare providers for influenza-like illness to measure the ILI activity level within a state. It does not, however, measure the extent of geographic spread of flu within a state. Therefore, outbreaks occurring in a single city could cause the state to display high activity levels. *Data collected in ILINet may disproportionately represent certain populations within a state, and therefore may not accurately depict the full picture of influenza activity for the whole state. *Data displayed in this map are based on data collected in ILINet, whereas the State and Territorial flu activity map are based on reports from state and territorial epidemiologists. The data presented in this map is preliminary and may change as more data is received."

    We won’t avoid the next pandemic. But we can still prepare.

  • Two maps of U.S. states, color-coded according to epidemic trends. Dark purple represents "growing," light purple "likely growing," gray "not changing," teal "likely declining," green "declining," white "not estimated." The map on the left shows COVID-19 trends, with a mix of purple and gray. Text at the top reads: "As of January 28, 2025, we estimate that COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in 20 states, declining or likely declining in 7 states, and not changing in 21 states." The map on the right shows influenza trends. Text at the top reads: "As of January 28, 2025, we estimate that influenza infections are growing or likely growing in 28 states, declining or likely declining in 4 states, and not changing in 16 states."

  • Map of the U.S. by state, with states color-coded according to a metric called Acute Respiratory Illness. Most states are colored in orange for moderate or red for high, with a few states (Michigan, New Jersey, New Hampshire) dark red/purple for very high.
