From the Viral Pathogen Characterization page:
Last week, I said that I had never seen flu so low, that I thought it must be a data error? Um, yeah, about that? It was a data error: Dyslexic me read the week number instead of the case number. *blush* There were actually 161 flu A cases reported last week for the week ending on 21 Feb (adjusted to 163 with this week’s report).
Flu A is actually having a little uptick (even with my data error corrected). I’ve seen other jurisdictions have a second peak, so this isn’t entirely surprising to me. Disappointing, but not surprising. RSV is coming down, and COVID is just hanging around.
In the most recent data (ending 28 Feb 2026) as reported on 5 Mar 2026, among influenza-like illness (i.e respiratory diseases) cases that the province has test data for:
- 30.6% were RSV;
- 23.4% were influenza A or B;
- 11.6% were COVID-19;
- 8.4% were entero/rhinoviruses;
- 7.8% were metapneumonia viruses;
- 6.0% were “common cold” coronaviruses;
- 1.6% were parainfluenza;
- 0.7% were adenoviruses.
Wastewater
Fraser wastewater is definitely going up. Other treatment plants are less definitive.
