Kentucky's current flu activity level is local activity. Local activity is defined as outbreaks of influenza or increases in ILI cases and recent laboratory-confirmed influenza in a single region of the state.

The Kentucky Department for Public Health relies on a network of influenza surveillance sites to help track the level of influenza activity in the state and identify which strains are circulating in Kentucky. The activity levels for states are tracked weekly as part of the CDC’s national flu surveillance system.
