Public Health tracks cases of influenza (flu) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The team that tracks these cases creates weekly reports during the influenza/RSV season. At the end of the year, a yearly report summarizes the data.
The 2019-2020 Flu/RSV Season began on September 29, 2019 and will end on September 26, 2020.
Public Health tracks flu and RSV cases by MMWR weeks, which is a standard way across the United States of numbering weeks in a year to track disease. (Learn more about MMWR weeksens in New Window PDF PDF Download ). Weekly reports start on Sunday and end the following Saturday.
