US Weekly COVID update: Nov 10, 2025

🔸1 in 162 Actively Infectious
🔸301,000 New Daily Infections
🔸1,990,000 Infections In The Past Week
🔸199,000,000 Infections in 2025
🔸100,000 to 400,000 Weekly Long COVID Cases
🔸600 to 900 Weekly Deaths

A line and area chart titled “SARS-CoV-2 New Daily Infections, Wastewater-Derived Estimates (U.S.)” dated November 10, 2025. The x-axis shows years from 2020 to 2025. The y-axis shows estimated daily infections ranging from 0 up to 5 million. The chart displays repeating large waves of infection, with a very sharp peak in early 2022 (reaching near the top of the chart), followed by multiple smaller but still large waves through 2023, 2024, and 2025. A label in the center reads “Nov 10, 2025.” At the bottom, text explains that current transmission is estimated to be about 25% of the peak from two months prior, but still very high overall. It notes many COVID-conscious patients are scheduling appointments soon, despite lack of localized CDC data. The chart is credited to Michael Hoerger, Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC). A U.S. map labeled “COVID-19 Heat Map, Based on CDC Wastewater Data and Levels (U.S.)” dated November 10, 2025. Most states are shown in uniform grey labeled “No Data,” indicating a widespread loss of CDC wastewater reporting. Puerto Rico is highlighted in yellow and light orange, showing low to moderate transmission. A key at the bottom shows color categories ranging from “Very High” (dark red) to “Very Low” (yellow), as well as “No Data” (grey) and “Limited Coverage” (striped). The surrounding text explains that the CDC wastewater dashboard remains largely offline, leaving only Puerto Rico reporting separately. It advises consulting localized dashboards and WastewaterSCAN data, but cautions that non-CDC regional comparisons are often inconsistent and should be interpreted carefully. The map is credited to Michael Hoerger, Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC). A data summary table titled “National COVID-19 Estimates (U.S.)” dated November 10, 2025. The table is divided into three sections: Infections, Long COVID, and Excess Deaths. Infections: Proportion actively infectious: 1 in 162 people (0.6%) Estimated new daily infections: 301,000 Estimated infections in the past week: 1,990,000 Estimated total infections in 2025 so far: 199,000,000 Average cumulative infections per person: 4.72 Long COVID: Long COVID cases resulting from new daily infections: 15,000 to 60,000 Long COVID cases resulting from new weekly infections: 100,000 to 400,000 Excess Deaths: Excess deaths from new daily infections: 90 to 140 deaths Excess deaths from new weekly infections: 600 to 900 deaths A note below states that new daily infections are estimated at 301,000 and transmission is flat but expected to rise soon. The source listed is pmc19.com/data from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative. A table titled “National COVID-19 Risk Table (U.S.)” dated November 10, 2025. The table shows the probability that at least one person is infectious with SARS-CoV-2 in a group of a given size, assuming average national conditions and no masking or testing. The left column lists the number of people present (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 75, 100, 200, 300). The right column lists the corresponding chance that someone is infectious, starting at 0.6% for a group of one person and increasing with group size: about 3% for a group of 5, 6% for 10, 14% for 25, 27% for 50, 46% for 100, 71% for 200, and 84% for 300. A note below explains that this is based on an estimated national infection rate of 1 in 162 people actively infectious, and highlights that even with seemingly low prevalence, exposure risk in classrooms and larger gatherings can be substantial.

WA weekly COVID update: Week ending 2 Nov 2025

🔸COVID positivity rate: 1.8% est. (+0.2%)

🔹PCR cases: 81 (+14.0%)
🔹Hospitalisation: Cases increased to an average of 18 per day (+20.0%)
🔹ICU: 7-day average increased to 2 cases (+100.0%)

Source: www.health.wa.gov.au/Articles/F_I...
A line and bar chart from Western Australia Health, titled “COVID-19 notifications and test positivity by notification week, WA, 2023 to 2025 YTD.” The blue bars show the number of PCR-confirmed COVID cases reported each week. The black line shows test positivity percentage over time. From early 2023 into 2024, cases and positivity rise and fall in waves, with several noticeable peaks — especially a large surge in mid-2023 and another in late 2024. After that, numbers decline through early 2025. The most recent week shows 81 reported cases, with low but persistent positivity, indicating ongoing community transmission rather than elimination. The chart highlights repeated year-round waves, not a single-season pattern. A bar chart titled “7-day average of COVID-19 cases currently in hospital or in ICU, WA, 2023 to 2025 YTD.” Blue bars represent the average number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Orange bars represent the average number of ICU COVID-19 patients (a smaller subset). The chart shows repeating waves of hospitalizations across 2023, 2024, and early 2025 — rising and falling multiple times, not limited to winter months. Hospitalizations repeatedly climb to 100+ per day during peaks, with noticeable waves around mid-2023, late 2023, mid-2024, and late 2024. The most recent data shows an average of 18 people hospitalized per day and about 2 people in ICU per day. The visual clearly shows COVID hospital burden never goes to zero, demonstrating continuous year-round transmission, with periodic surges rather than a single “season.” A line graph titled “SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater and COVID-19 notification rate, Perth metropolitan area, WA, 2023 to 31 Oct 2025.” The dark blue line shows wastewater viral concentration (14-day average). The yellow line shows COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population (14-day average). The wastewater data shows multiple repeating peaks across 2023, 2024, and 2025 — clear year-round circulation, not confined to winter. The case rate line fluctuates at lower scale, but follows the same wave pattern. The most recent data shows slight decrease, but the virus never disappears, remaining present every month. A set of two stacked bar charts showing the distribution of SARS-CoV-2 variants from July 2022 to November 2025 in Western Australia. The top chart shows variants detected in clinical samples. The bottom chart shows variants detected in wastewater (more representative of community spread). Over time, different Omicron sub-lineages rise and fall, with distinct waves of variant turnover. Recently, the XFG.X sub-lineage is dominant in wastewater, while recent clinical sequencing is sparse, making clinical proportions less reliable. The charts show constant variant evolution, with no period where COVID disappears — only shifts in which variant dominates.

NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report – week ending 1 November 2025 www.health.nsw.gov.au/coronavirus Influenza is at a moderate level of activity. COVID-19 is at a low level of activity. RSV is at a low level of activity. Summary While some influenza indicators have declined, overall activity is stable but still at a moderate level, which is unusual for this time of year. COVID-19 is stable at a low level of activity. RSV is at a low level of activity. Notifications of COVID-19, influenza and RSV Notification data is obtained from laboratory tests for infections. This indicator provides information about community infection. Interpretation: In the past week there was an increase of 4.9% in COVID-19 notifications, an increase of 4.7% in influenza notifications, and a decrease of 15.8% in RSV notifications. Table 1: Notifications of COVID-19, influenza and RSV, NSW, tested in the week ending 1 November 2025 A bar chart titled “Figure 5. Weekly notifications of COVID-19*, Influenza and RSV, by date of test and type of test performed, NSW, 1 May 2024 to 1 November 2025.” The chart displays weekly COVID-19 case notifications in New South Wales. Cases rise sharply in June–July 2024 to around 5,000–6,000 per week, then decline through late 2024 to around 1,500–2,000 per week. A second rise occurs in May–July 2025, reaching about 4,000–5,000 weekly cases before slowly declining through late 2025. The x-axis shows dates from May 2024 to December 2025, and the y-axis shows weekly notifications from 0 to 8,000. A report graphic from NSW health surveillance showing COVID-19 test positivity and positive test counts over time. The top interpretation text says: “In the last week COVID-19 test positivity decreased to 2.4%. Influenza test positivity decreased to 8.5%. RSV test positivity decreased to 1.2%.” Below is a line and bar chart labeled: “Figure 12. Number and proportion of tests positive for COVID-19 at NSW sentinel laboratories by week, 1 May 2024 to 2 November 2025.” Light blue bars show the weekly number of positive COVID tests, generally fluctuating between ~1,500 and ~4,500. A grey line shows percent positivity, ranging from around 3% to 10% throughout the period, with peaks around December 2024 (9.6%) and June 2025 (7.3%), and sitting at 2.4% in early November 2025. Below the graph is Table 2, showing four weekly periods ending 12 October, 19 October, 26 October, and 2 November 2025. The row for SARS-CoV-2 shows percent positivity values of 2.6%, 2.4%, 2.4%, and 2.4%. The number of PCR tests conducted each week ranges from ~6,600 to ~8,000. The number of laboratories reporting COVID results is 3 in all weeks except 26 October, where it is 2. Red circles highlight the 2.4% positivity and 3 laboratories reporting values.
