Public Health Advisory: Significant Increase in Influenza Activity

The City of St. Louis Department of Health continues to monitor a substantial spike in respiratory illnesses across the region. As of early February 2026, health officials have issued a formal advisory following a sharp rise in Influenza A cases. Recent data indicates that Influenza A accounts for approximately 97% of all reported flu cases in the city. While the virus is impacting all demographics, adults between the ages of 25 and 49 have recorded the highest number of infections this season.

The Department of Health urges residents who have not yet received their annual vaccination to do so immediately. High-risk individuals, including those over age 65, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic medical conditions like asthma or diabetes, are advised to take extra precautions. Health care providers are encouraged to share prevention strategies and maintain vigilance in testing symptomatic patients to curb further community spread.

Transportation and Public Service Announcements

Several infrastructure projects and transit initiatives are active today, potentially impacting local commutes and neighborhood planning:

• Green Line Bus Rapid Transit Open House: Bi-State Development and Metro Transit are hosting a public open house regarding the Green Line Bus Rapid Transit project. The event begins at 5:00 PM and offers residents an opportunity to review plans and provide feedback on the proposed rapid transit corridor.
• Ongoing Roadwork on I-55: The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) reminds motorists of long-term lane and ramp closures on I-55 in St. Louis City. Current restrictions include single and double lane closures from I-44 to south of Bates Street, along with the continued closure of the Virginia Avenue on-ramp to southbound I-55. These projects are expected to persist through early 2026.
• I-270 Ramp Closures: In North St. Louis County, the westbound exit and entrance ramps at Riverview Drive remain closed as part of ongoing interchange improvements.
