RSV Trend Question
What Does Stable RSV Activity Mean?
A stable label means little net change across the latest three weekly reports, not that RSV is gone. Current national RSV activity is low at 0.2 new admissions per 100K. Trend unavailable for the national RSV hospital-admissions signal. A trend needs three valid consecutive weekly reports through the latest reading.
15-second answer
- Stable is a direction label for little net change across the latest three weekly reports. Individual weeks can still move up or down.
- The current national RSV signal is low at 0.2 new admissions per 100K. Trend unavailable for the national RSV hospital-admissions signal. A trend needs three valid consecutive weekly reports through the latest reading.
- A state can be stable and still have meaningful RSV activity. The highest current RSV states are Florida (0.8 per 100K), Hawaii (0.7 per 100K), Alabama (0.4 per 100K), Delaware (0.4 per 100K), Alaska (0.3 per 100K).
- For a practical answer, read the current level, the week ending date, the trend label, and the state page together.
Why this matters 1
Families and schools can misread "stable" as "not a concern." That is incomplete when the current level is still moderate or high.

Interpreting stable RSV trend labels on state and national pages
This page should stay focused on interpretation. It should not turn a stable trend into medical advice or imply that every city has city-specific RSV surveillance.
FAQ
Quick questions about this answer
Does stable RSV activity mean RSV is over?
No. Stable means little net change across the latest three weekly reports. The current level can still be moderate or high, and individual weeks can still move up or down.
Why does Local Health Signal show both level and trend for RSV?
Because either one alone can mislead. Level tells you how much RSV hospitalization activity is being reported now, while trend tells you whether that signal is rising, stable, or easing.
