Atlanta

Epidemiological Brief

Atlanta scores 29.5 (MEDIUM risk) as of 2026-08-07. Measles is the second-largest contributing signal, scoring 35.4/100, reflecting active case reports in Georgia in the current surveillance window. Influenza-like illness contributes 26.3/100 with an ILI rate of 7.3% — elevated relative to the national summer baseline. Pertussis scores 21.8/100, indicating ongoing whooping cough circulation. Mpox contributes 20/100 at sentinel-level, reflecting sustained low-level transmission in the metro region. COVID-19 and dengue signals are low. Wastewater surveillance (ATCP-73RE) monitors COVID-19 and influenza without triggering an alert. Data coverage is high (86%), supporting strong signal confidence. Conditions are warm and humid (24°C–25°C, 85% relative humidity, 6.5 mm recent precipitation), which may support both respiratory pathogen persistence and vector activity. International arrivals total 15,340. Delegations from measles-susceptible populations should confirm vaccination status before arrival. Standard respiratory hygiene, pertussis and measles vaccination verification, and mosquito-bite precautions are recommended for all attendees and team medical staff.
