he Department of Health finds that the cases of new meningitis infections in NYC for 2017 are at the same level as 2016 (average). The epidemiologist states meningitis to be at a(n) endemic level.  

Explanation:

Endemic is a term used to indicate that the cases of the disease had remained constant in an area over some time. If the number of people affected by meningitis in New York had increased from 2016 to 2017, the term used would be an epidemic.  If a disease spreads globally, it is called a pandemic.
