Pagaoa M, Grey J, Torrone E, et al. - Findings revealed a dramatic decrease in national case reporting for STDs during March–April 2020 when compared with 2019. However, later in the year, there was resurgence in reported gonorrhea and syphilis cases suggesting a possible increase in STD reporting in 2020, highlighting the relevance of continued STD prevention and care activities.

• The US National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System was assessed for the reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis.

• During Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) weeks 1 to 11 (week of December 29, 2019–March 11, 2020), there were a similar weekly number of cases of STDs reported in 2020 as a percentage of the cases in the same week in 2019.

• In week 15, much lower cases were reported in 2020 than 2019 (week of April 8; chlamydia, 49.8%; gonorrhea, 71.2%; and P&S syphilis, 63.7%).

• Compared with 2019, the 2020 cumulative totals for week 50 were 14.0% lower for chlamydia, 7.1% higher for gonorrhea, and 0.9% lower for P&S syphilis.
