• Description:
  Effective May 1, 2024, hospitals are no longer required to report COVID-19 and influenza hospital admissions, hospital capacity, or hospital occupancy data to HHS through CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). CDC encourages ongoing, voluntary reporting of hospitalization data. Data voluntarily reported to NHSN after May 1, 2024, will be available starting May 10, 2024, on COVID Data Tracker Hospitalizations and data.cdc.gov.
  
  Starting May 10, 2024, the source of hospitalization data for COVID-19 and influenza will change from the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) to CDC’s sentinel surveillance network, RESP-NET. RESP-NET is the current source for RSV hospitalization data on this website. Additional information on RESP-NET is available at RESP-NET Interactive Dashboard.
