Summary
Seasonal influenza and RSV activity are low nationally, but COVID-19 activity is increasing in some areas.
COVID-19
During April and May 2024, COVID-19 activity was lower than at any time since the start of the pandemic. Recent increases need to be considered from that baseline. This includes increases in COVID-19 test positivity and emergency department visits, suggesting growth in COVID-19 activity across several states, and increases in rates of COVID-19–associated hospitalizations among adults 65+ at some Western sites. While there are indications for the potential start of a summer surge, nationally COVID-19 activity remains low. CDC will continue to monitor to see if these recent increases persist.
Influenza
Nationally, seasonal influenza activity remains low. Additional information about current influenza activity can be found at: Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report | CDC.
RSV
Nationally, RSV activity remains low.
Vaccination
National vaccination coverage for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV vaccines remained low for children and adults for the 2023-24 respiratory illness season. COVID-19 vaccines continue to be recommended and can provide a layer of protection.
