Footnotes:
1. This report contains surveillance information about influenza and other viral respiratory illnesses collected by the New Jersey
Department of Health, Communicable Disease Service.
2. The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) week is the week of the epidemiologic year used by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) for disease reporting. is assigned by the reporting local or state health department for the purposes of
MMWR disease incidence reporting and publishing. MMWR weeks begin on a Saturday and end on a Sunday and are assigned a
numeric value ranging from 1 to 53, although most years consist of 52 weeks. Week ending dates and associated MMWR weeks
can be found at: http://www.nj.gov/health/cd/documents/flu/mmwr_weeks.pdf
3. Activity levels for the state and region are defined in Tables 1 and 2 at the end of this document.
4. The following is a breakdown of counties contained within each public health region: Northwest: Morris, Passaic, Sussex, Warren;
Northeast: Bergen, Essex, Hudson; Central West: Hunterdon, Mercer, Somerset; Central East: Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean,
Union; South: Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Salem, Cumberland, Gloucester.
5. Influenza-like illness (ILI) is defined as fever (> 100°F [37.8°C], oral or equivalent) and cough and/or sore throat (in the absence of
a known cause other than influenza). For long term care facilities, fever is defined as 2°F above baseline temperature. ILI Activity
from long term care (LTC) facilities and absenteeism data from schools is collected in the ILI Module of the Communicable
Disease Reporting and Surveillance System (CDRSS). LTCs and schools report their total census and number ill with ILI or
number absent, respectively. Emergency department (ED) data is aggregate weekly totals of syndromic ILI visits and total ED
registrations as recorded in EpiCenter (e.g., NJDOH syndromic surveillance system). Data presented represents information for the
week prior to the current report week. Current week data presented on ED Chart on page 3.
6. Non-season baseline is calculated by taking the average of statewide percentages of ILI for a 10 year (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011,
2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017) period during months when influenza is less likely to be circulating (May-August).
7. Three year seasonal averages are determined by calculating the average percent ILI/absenteeism for each influenza season (October
to May) beginning with the 2010-2011 season. These averages are ranked and the three highest and lowest overall season averages
were selected. The three highest and lowest numbers were then averaged to obtain a single high and single low value. The season
which contribute to the high and low value vary by entity type and are as follows: LTCF (High: 10-11, 12-13, 14-15; Low: 11-12,
15-16, 16-17), ED (High: 12-13, 14-15, 16-17; Low: 10-11, 11-12, 15-16) and schools (High: 10-11, 12-13, 16-17; Low: 11-12,
13-14, 14-15). A week by week average was also calculated using the average of the seasons listed above for each entity type.
8. Laboratory testing: Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results for influenza (AH1N1, AH3N2, and B) are obtained from
electronic laboratory transmission submitted by acute care, commercial and public health laboratories to CDRSS. Rapid influenza
test data and respiratory syncytial virus data are acquired from facilities reporting via the National Respiratory and Enteric Virus
Surveillance System (NREVSS) or CDRSS ILI module. Counts for cumulative totals begin with week ending October 7, 2017.
Three week count data includes current week and two prior weeks. Data presented for rapid influenza testing represents information
for the week prior to the current report week. Three year seasonal averages for rapid influenza tests are determined by calculating
the average percent positive for each influenza season (October to May) beginning with the 2010-2011 season. These averages are
ranked and the three highest and lowest overall season averages were selected. The three highest and lowest numbers were then
averaged to obtain a single high and single low value for each week. The season which contribute to the high and low value for
rapid influenza chart are as follows: High: 10-11, 11-12, 12-13; Low: 13-14, 15-16, 16-17.
9. Daily visits and admissions associated with ILI from emergency department data is collected via EpiCenter (i.e., NJDOH
syndromic surveillance). Prior to 2017-2018 season, data on ILI visits were only recorded on one day per week usually on
Tuesday. Beginning in the 2017-2018 season, weekly aggregate data is being recorded for ILI visits and admissions. Data presented
represents the week prior to the current report week.
10. Only LTCF outbreaks reported to NJDOH that receive an outbreak number are recorded in this report.
11. Data presented for New Jersey are for cases confirmed as of the current reporting week. Data presented for the United States
represent data reported for the prior MMWR week. This data can be viewed at https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/
12. Select laboratories in New Jersey report the total number of tests performed and the total positive for a number of non-influenza
respiratory viruses through the National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) . Information about the
CDC NREVSS system can be found at: https://www.cdc.gov/surveillance/nrevss/labs/index.html NREVSS data is combined with
non-influenza test data from the NJDOH State Public Health and Environmental Laboratory (PHEL) and aggregate total for the
season as well as those found positive in the last three weeks are displayed.

Notes:
ILI activity: Systems used to detect increases in ILI activity include: ILINet (i.e., sentinel provid-
ers), school absenteeism data, ED ILI visits and admissions collected via EpiCenter, LTCF ILI data,
respiratory outbreak data and information on influenza mortality (National Center for Health Statis-
tics).
Lab Activity: NJPHEL and commercial laboratories positive influenza tests identified by PCR and
culture will be used as the primary data source for the above levels. However, rapid influenza test
data will also be considered when determining the appropriate activity levels.
