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

• Outpatient Illness Surveillance: The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 3.7%, which is above the national baseline of 2.1%. All 10 regions reported ILI at or above region-specific baseline levels. New York City, Puerto Rico, and 14 states experienced high ILI activity; 13 states experienced moderate ILI activity; 11 states experienced low ILI activity; 12 states experienced minimal ILI activity; and the District of Columbia had insufficient data.
• Geographic Spread of Influenza: The geographic spread of influenza in Puerto Rico and 40 states was reported as widespread; Guam and 10 states reported regional activity; the District of Columbia reported local activity; and the U.S. Virgin Islands did not report.
