Delaware: common questions

How much respiratory illness is going around in Delaware right now?

The current combined flu, RSV and COVID-19 threat level for Delaware — and whether it is rising, falling or holding steady — is shown at the top of this page. It reflects the CDC's latest public surveillance data and is a directional weekly trend, not a real-time case count.

Where does this Delaware data come from?

From the CDC's public-domain surveillance systems — emergency-department visits (NSSP), wastewater viral activity (NWSS) and laboratory test positivity (NREVSS). See our methodology and data sources.

How often is the Delaware threat level updated?

Weekly. CDC surveillance systems publish on Fridays, and reported data typically reflects illness from one to two weeks earlier — so FluTrack emphasizes the trend rather than a single day's number.
