The worst flu season the United States has had in more than a decade may have reached its peak, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

One of the worst flu seasons in years has reached its peak and is improving, officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday.

The Centers for Disease Control has classified this year’s flu season as high-severity, the first since 2017-2018. The classification is determined by examining the number of influenza-like illness outpatient visits, flu-related hospitalizations, and flu deaths in a season. Those figures are compared to historic flu seasons.
