Epidemiological Brief

New York scores 17.94 (LOW risk) as of 2026-08-07. Pertussis leads at 21.4/100, followed by influenza-like illness at 20.8/100 with an ILI rate of 5.8% in the combined New York–New Jersey region. Mpox contributes 20/100 at sentinel-level, reflecting ongoing community transmission in the metropolitan area. Dengue contributes 5.5/100 (travel-associated); measles scores 9.4/100 at low background levels. COVID-19 is minimal. The NYC DOHMH wastewater surveillance system monitors COVID-19, with a composite factor of 1.031 — a slight elevation above baseline, but no formal alert has been issued. Data coverage is medium (83%), providing moderate confidence. New York is the second-largest international gateway in this tournament, receiving 27,430 arrivals this week. Conditions are hot and very humid (27°C, 86% relative humidity, 0.8 mm recent precipitation). Despite the low composite risk score, the high arrival volume warrants continued active surveillance. Standard respiratory hygiene, pertussis vaccination verification, and mpox awareness messaging are recommended. NYC public health authorities should maintain existing wastewater monitoring cadence and ensure outbreak-response capacity is on standby throughout the tournament.
