COVID-19 activity has risen again in the United States, although the latest data show signs of a national decline, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As of September 25, COVID-19 activity remained elevated but was declining nationally, while hospitalisations remained low. The CDC said respiratory illness causing people to seek healthcare was also at a very low level.
Earlier CDC estimates showed infections were growing or likely growing in 27 states as of September 16, while they were declining or likely declining in 13 states.
The CDC's latest outlook said COVID-19 cases had increased in some parts of the country during the summer, which could affect the timing or size of the upcoming fall and winter wave. However, the agency expects the peak COVID-19 hospitalisation burden in the 2026-27 season to be broadly similar to previous years, barring the emergence of a variant with significant immune-escape properties.
Hospitalisation rates remain highest among people aged 65 and above and children under one year, according to the CDC.
