All areas of the country are seeing elevated levels of flu-like illness. Nineteen states experienced high flu-like illness activity for the week ending Dec. 14.
The activity so far is mostly caused by influenza B/Victoria viruses, which is unusual for this time of year, the report said.
Thirty states reported widespread flu activity and 17 reported regional flu activity.
