Influenza Surveillance Report for MMWR Week 11
The flu activity level for the week ending March 17, 2007 is widespread. This is the seventh consecutive week of the season that widespread activity has been reported. Widespread activity indicates that at least half of the regions are experiencing an increase in ILI and lab-confirmed (by culture) flu has been identified in those regions.
Overall, flu activity continues to decrease across the state.
