Reading the Signal
The Momentum Score measures how unusual this week’s COVID positivity is compared to the prior 10 weeks. A high score means something has changed; near zero means this week looks like recent weeks.
During a sustained surge, a Steady score means positivity is holding at elevated levels. It does not mean COVID is low. See the trend chart below for the absolute rate.
COVID Positivity
Positivity Rates Triple Since July
As clinics see more patients present with COVID symptoms, the average seven-day lab count per clinic continues to rise, from around four percent in July to five percent in late August. And while there is a slight increase in testing, the number of patients testing positive has nearly tripled in that same time, with positivity rates rising from three percent to nine percent.

COVID Positivity by Region
COVID Rates Increase Across the South
Over the last month, our maps are showing signs of a surge in COVID infections across the lower half of the country and along both U.S. coastlines. COVID positivity is highest in Texas at 19.3% with California and Nevada closing the gap at over 16%.
This uneven distribution continues to create localized demand surges, emphasizing the need for:
- Flexible staffing models across urgent care
- Region-specific forecasting
- Focus on testing when patients present with upper respiratory symptoms
