You’ll be glad to know that Dr. Bonnie Henry has declared an end to respiratory virus season (2026-03-06) :-/.

Charts

From the Viral Respiratory Outcomes page (updated 12 Mar 2026 with data through 7 Mar 2026).


From the Viral Pathogen Characterization page:

Flu A is down, Flu B is up, and COVID-19 is pretty much holding steady. RSV was down only slightly, but the overall trend is downward.

Note: I dropped the max y-height this week from 1500 to 600 to better show the current state

In the most recent data (ending 7 March 2026) as reported on 12 Mar 2026, among influenza-like illness (i.e respiratory diseases) cases that the province has test data for:

  • 29.4% were RSV;
  • 35.1% were influenza A or B;
  • 10.9% were COVID-19;
  • 7.7% were entero/rhinoviruses;
  • 7.3% were metapneumonia viruses;
  • 6.9% were “common cold” coronaviruses;
  • 1.3% were parainfluenza;
  • 1.3% were adenoviruses.

Wastewater

The wastewater looks as noisy as ever. Maybe COVID-19 levels are going up, maybe they are staying about the same.
