What Public Health Tracks
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 first day of the 2018-2019 season was September 30, 2018. Flu/RSV season will continue through September 28, 2019.
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 weeks Opens a New Window. .) Weekly reports start on Sunday and end the following Saturday.
