Kansas City

Epidemiological Brief

Kansas City presents the lowest composite Santé score among all 16 host cities this week, reflecting minimal disease activity across all tracked pathogens. Measles: 3 new Kansas cases in EW18 (51 YTD statewide), likely concentrated in the ongoing multi-county cluster in western Kansas; Missouri reported 0 new cases. The combined normalized measles signal is 2.2/100. Influenza A(H3N2) contributed a combined 2,627 weekly cases from Kansas (866) and Missouri (1,761) against the 52-week peak of 15,854 (normalized 16.6/100), reflecting significantly lower late-season influenza burden than coastal cities. Mpox: 0 new cases across both states this week. No hantavirus detections despite in-scope watch status. The composite Santé score is 5.8 (low). The ongoing Kansas measles cluster merits monitoring: if transmission accelerates toward the Kansas City metro, mass-gathering conditions could amplify spread. Standard MMR verification for venue staff and attendee vaccination awareness campaigns are prudent precautions for the tournament. Hantavirus awareness materials should be distributed for outdoor venue areas. Sante Index v0 is a watching signal, not a forecast.
