ALT The US has at least 44 states and territories with COVlD outbreaks, a figure identical to last week. The CDC continues to make large, upward retroactive corrections, and we are in a secondary wave peak. States with observed outbreaks include Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawai’i, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. Additional states with poor monitoring likely have outbreaks based on high levels in bordering counties in adjacent states.
ALT US COVID-19 heat map dated 19 October 2026, produced by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC), using CDC wastewater data last updated 10 October. - Outbreaks: At least 44 US states and territories experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks. - Western US: Widespread very high activity, particularly California, Oregon, Washington and neighbouring states. - Southeast: Extensive high to very high activity across Florida, Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas. - Northeast: Numerous high-activity areas, particularly along the Atlantic coast. - Midwest: Mixed activity, ranging from very low to very high. - Estimated infectious prevalence: Very low: below 0.9%; Low: 1.2%; Moderate: 2.0%; High: 2.9%; Very high: above 3.5%. - Trend: PMC reports an apparent secondary peak following upward CDC data revisions. - Map colours: Pale blue, green, orange, red and purple indicate increasing activity levels.
