Key Flu Indicators:

Each week CDC analyzes information about influenza disease activity in the United States and publishes findings of key flu indicators in a report called FluView. During the week of September 13-19, 2009, a review of the key indictors found that influenza activity continued to increase in the United States compared to the prior weeks.

CDC's response goals are to :

1. Reduce transmission and illness severity, and
2. Provide information to help health care providers, public health officials, and the public address the challenges posed by this emergency.

CDC continues to issue and update interim guidelines daily in response to the rapidly evolving situation. This includes guidance on testing of ill individuals, how to care for someone when they are sick at home, antiviral recommendations and guidance on impending H1N1 Vaccine administration.

Communities , businesses, places of worship, schools and individuals can all take action to slow the spread of this outbreak. People are urged to stay home from work or school and to avoid contact with others, except to seek medical care. This action can avoid spreading illness further.
