Key Points:
- The CDC's latest epidemic modeling shows COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with Iowa as the only exception due to insufficient data.
- This marks a shift from three weeks ago when 37 states showed growth and 11 states had stable transmission; now, no state reports stable or declining trends.
- The summer COVID wave that began in the South and West has expanded nationwide, with 47 states classified as "Growing" and the rest as "Likely Growing."
- Experts note this increase aligns with expected seasonal COVID-19 patterns, advising continued vigilance, booster shots, and vaccinations for influenza and RSV to protect vulnerable populations.
- The rise in infections coincides with ongoing federal reviews of the pandemic response, highlighting a transition from regional outbreaks to a broad national wave.
