April, 2025

As we move into April we continue to transition out of the typical respiratory virus season. Flu activity generally peaks between December and February and we are now seeing a gradual decline in cases. Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) have shown a notable decline in recent weeks, suggesting a tapering of transmission. This shift may be attributed to improving weather conditions, reduced indoor congregation, and increasing population immunity. Despite the decline, it remains important to monitor for lingering cases, especially among vulnerable populations such as older adults, young children, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
