COVID is at “very high” activity levels in several US states, according to CDC

According to recent data released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 activity is reported to be at a “very high” level in more than half of the United States.
The government agency has stated that the CDC will use wastewater and sewage to test whether there are traces of infectious diseases within the region.
According to data collected by the CDC on 8/9, 27 states across the country have reported “very high” levels of wastewater virus activity.
Furthermore, in an NPR interview, the CDC health authorities classified COVID-19 as an “endemic disease.”
“At the moment, we can say COVID-19 is spreading around the world,” Aron Hall, CDC's Deputy Director of Science for Coronavirus and Other Respiratory Viruses, told the radio network.
According to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Protection, endemic diseases are defined as diseases that are regularly expected or circulate at a normal level in a community despite occasional occurrence.
What is the current variant with the most people infected with COVID-19?
The CDC's nowcast data tracker displays COVID-19 estimates and predictions every 2 weeks, and in the 2 weeks from 7/21 to 8/3, KP.3.1.1 accounts for 27.8% of positive infected people, followed by KP.3 at 20.1%.
“The KP.3.1.1 variant is very similar to other variants prevalent in the US. All current strains are descendants of JN.1, which appeared in the latter half of 2023,” CDC spokesperson Rosa Norman previously told USA TODAY.
Changes in COVID-19 positivity rates within a week
According to data collected by the CDC, positive cases of COVID-19 increased the most (2.1%) from 2024/7/28 to 8/3 in the 6 Midwestern states that make up Region 5. This data was published on 2024/8/12.
Note: The CDC organizes positivity rates based on regions defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Below are changes in COVID-19 positivity rates for each state and region over the past week:
Region 1 (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont): +1.4%
Region 2 (New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands): -1.3%
Region 3 (Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia): -1.3%: +1.3%
Region 4 (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee): +1.3%: +1.4%
Region 5 (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin): +1.4%: +2.1%
Region 6 (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas): +1.5%: +1.5%
Region 7 (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska): +1.5%: +0.9%
Region 8 (Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming): +0.9%: -1.2%
Region 9 (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Marshall Islands, Republic of Palau): -3.1
Region 10 (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington): -3.1%: +1.2%

  • pinkotu : It's called the 5-year break for infectious disease epidemics, but it seems like there's still a long way to go. Unlike general wind, it is susceptible to infection and is highly infectious. COVID-19 alert has been relaxed, so why don't we all wash our hands? No mask, hold your mouth with your hand when you cough, touch it with that hand, and zoom in. So splashes are dangerous, but hand washing is also important.
