The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has estimated that flu has caused 23,000 deaths and 38 million illnesses this season, according to the most recent FluView report.
However, flu-like activity increased for the second week in a row after three weeks of decline. More people may be seeking care for respiratory illness due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CDC said.
Thirty-seven states experienced high flu-like illness activity, four states experienced moderate activity and five states had low activity. Arizona, Florida, New Hampshire and Wyoming reported minimal activity.
Flu activity was widespread in every state but Hawaii, Minnesota and Wyoming.
