ALT Heading: "One State with “High” Levels" Subheading: "The Weather Report 5/04/26" A map of the United States with the CDC’s newly updated color code which uses shades of blue, green, orange, pink and purple to depict COVID Wastewater Viral Activity levels. The header reads “one state with ‘High’ levels.” This map is based on CDC Data last updated on April 30, 2026 with a time period of April 19th to April 25th. Pink and purple correlate with higher viral activity, while the cool colors blue and green represent lower activity. Orange represents moderate. Gray indicates “limited/no data” and stripes indicate “limited coverage” where data is based on less than 5% of the population and may not be accurate for the whole state. West Virginia is orange meaning “Moderate”, Nebraska is red meaning “High”. North Dakota, Guam, and the Virgin Islands are grey meaning “limited/no data”.

ALT Heading: "The Weather". Along with the “People’s CDC” logo. Body text: "The CDC-based wastewater map was updated on April 30th, and depicts wastewater levels for the period April 19th to April 25th. It is of note that since we unveiled a new color scheme for the wastewater map on March 11th with cool tones representing “low” and “very low” levels and warm tones representing “high” and “very high” levels, the CDC has also followed suit with an updated map color that reflects the same logic. We are pleased to see the CDC take steps to move towards an appropriate sense of visual clarity." Footer: "The Weather Report 5/04/26, peoplescdc.org"
