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 2020-2021 Flu/RSV season began on September 27, 2020 and will end on September 25, 2021.
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.
