According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Alabama is one of only three states seeing “very high” levels of flu-like illnesses.

A flu surveillance map from the Alabama Department of Public Health shows “significant flu” activity in every county in the state.“We’re well above any of the previous seasons,” said Dr. Wes Stubblefield with ADPH.

“We still have COVID-19 that’s circulating, we have influenza that’s circulating at a high level, and people will ultimately end up in the hospital,” said Stubblefield. “It’s not a crisis situation, but it certainly could become one if we have a winter spike of COVID and the flu,” said deputy director Danne Howard.

“Use common sense. If you’re sick, stay at home. Hand-washing and other things that mitigate any virus spread is always encouraged,” said Howard.
