The percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza in clinical laboratories was low.

      o Outpatient Illness Surveillance: The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 1.8%, which is below the national baseline of 2.1%. Four of 10 regions reported ILI at or above region-specific baseline levels. One state experienced high ILI activity; Puerto Rico and four states experienced low ILI activity; New York City and 45 states experienced minimal ILI activity; and the District of Columbia had insufficient data.
