Novel influenza A virus infections, particularly H5 avian flu, have not shown evidence of human-to-human transmission in the United States so far this year. The CDC stresses that no new confirmed human cases of H5 avian influenza were detected this week, and there are no alerts of concern for widespread avian flu in people at this time.
However, measles is an ongoing public health alert. The CDC confirms that as of July 1, there have been 1,267 confirmed measles cases across 38 states and cities, including Alaska, California, Florida, Texas, New York, and Virginia, among others. The agency reports 27 separate outbreaks so far this year, accounting for 88 percent of all cases. For comparison, there were just 16 outbreaks during all of last year. Tragically, there have been three confirmed deaths in 2025 due to measles. The CDC urges that measles is highly contagious, and vaccination is essential, especially for children and those traveling internationally. Many local health departments are issuing additional outbreak recommendations, particularly in states with ongoing outbreaks.
Looking at virologic surveillance, the CDC’s FluView for the week ending June 21 shows only 1.2 percent of clinical respiratory specimens tested positive for influenza. Nationwide, most positive influenza cases are Influenza B, rather than Influenza A. For listeners following bird flu or highly pathogenic avian influenza, the most recent CDC summaries show no increase in risk for the general public, but interim recommendations for those exposed to sick or dead birds remain in place.
COVID-19 activity in clinical and public health labs remains below one percent of tested cases, as reported by the CDC’s national respiratory virus activity dashboard. This trend means that emergency department visits and hospitalizations due to COVID-19 are at some of the lowest levels seen since the start of national tracking.
For localized outbreaks and region-specific alerts, state health departments continue to publish outbreak information, especially for measles. Additionally, the California Department of Public Health issued a June advisory highlighting the need for vigilance with measles and for flu preparedness among healthcare professionals. The CDC has also previously issued broader national advisories about the importance of MMR vaccination and provided guidance for the summer travel season, given the rising number of measles cases globally and domestically.
Both the CDC and local health agencies encourage listeners to stay up to date with routine vaccinations, monitor state and local advisories, and practice good hygiene to prevent illness. People with symptoms of any respiratory illness should take steps to protect themselves and others, such as wearing a mask and staying home when ill.
