CDC reports widespread flu activity in one state

ATLANTA For the week ended Jan. 2, there is now only one state reporting widespread activity of influenza-like illnesses — Alabama — though that state was not 1-of-the-4 states (Delaware, Maine, New Jersey and Virginia) reporting widespread activity in the week prior.

And Nebraska reported no ILI activity for the week.

Nationwide, 2.4% of patient visits reported through the U.S. Outpatient Influenza-like Illness Surveillance Network were due to ILI. This percentage is above the national baseline of 2.3%.
