Follow along with us this respiratory season for updates every two weeks.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) positivity rates have begun to slowly increase, although the national average remains low at 0.8% for the week ending 9/22/2024. States in the southeast are seeing higher RSV rates, with Florida reaching 3.1%. RSV is typically the first seasonal respiratory virus that increases in the fall, and rising rates signal respiratory virus season is quickly approaching.

COVID-19 positivity rates continue to decrease, reaching 5.8% positivity last week in the HealthTrackRx data. This follows a similar trend to last year’s summer COVID spike, which peaked in mid-August and continued to decrease into the fall months.

Enterovirus D68 and Rhinovirus/Enterovirus positivity rates continue to hold stead.
