Activity rises in West
On X yesterday, the California Department of Public Health said it is seeing an uptick in COVID activity in the state and it urged people to take steps to prevent disease spread, such as staying home and testing when sick, seeking treatment if positive, and masking when indoors.
COVID-19 test positivity and emergency department (ED) visits, considered early indicators, are up from very low levels. Nationally, ED visits were up 23.3% from the week before, with Hawaii in the highest category, and a few western states reporting higher levels than the country as a whole, according to the latest CDC COVID data. Test positivity rose slightly to 8.1% and is highest in Hawaii and western regions of the country.
Wastewater SARS-CoV-2 detections are still classified as low nationally, but trends show a steep rise in the West and a more modest rise in the South.
