CNHD Respiratory Weekly Snapshot:
Week 52: 12/21/25 - 12/27/25
Weekly, we track and monitor influenza-like-illness for our counties. What is influenza-like-illness (ILI)? ILI refers to symptoms like fever, cough, and sore throat that resemble the flu but can be caused by other viruses. Monitoring ILI helps track potential outbreaks and assess public health risks. Tracking ILI helps ensure early responses to flu season and other viral threats, preventing further spread. When ILI levels exceed the established baseline by a certain percentage, it signals a potential outbreak or an abnormal rise in cases. This triggers closer monitoring and response measures. Currently, the CNHD communities is on a HIGH alert for influenza and ILI.
We’re continuing to see an increase in influenza cases. To help protect yourself and others, get your annual flu vaccine, wash your hands often, cover coughs and sneezes, clean frequently touched surfaces, and stay home if you’re feeling sick. If you must go out while ill, wearing a mask can help reduce the spread. Taking these simple steps can make a big difference in keeping our community healthy.
Nevada Trend: Laboratory-confirmed influenza in Nevada is A-predominant with sustained late-season acceleration, a statewide overall positivity of 6.5%.
COVID-19: Everyone 6 months and older should get the updated COVID vaccine, especially those with underlying health conditions.
Flu: Everyone 6 months and older, but it's especially important for pregnant women, seniors, and those with chronic health issues.
RSV: Infants, those who are pregnant, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems should consider the RSV vaccine for added protection.
