COVID-19 levels are definitely going up, but are still pretty low compared to previous waves.
Charts
From the Viral Respiratory Outcomes page (updated 3 September 2026 with data through 29 August):
From the Viral Pathogen Characterization page with data up to 1 July, as reported on 6 August:
Most pathogens are at a really low level. Parainfluenza had a little wave in end May/early June, but historically it looks like that’s what it does (and the absolute case counts are small).
COVID-19 is clearly rising, although the case count is still low compared to previous waves:
In the most recent data (ending 29 August 2026) as reported on 3 September 2026, among respiratory virus cases that the province has test data for:
- 39.2% were COVID-19;
- 24.0% were entero/rhinoviruses;
- 22.8% were influenza A or B (mostly A);
- 5.3% were parainfluenza;
- 3.4% were RSV;
- 2.7% were adenoviruses;
- 1.9% were metapneumonia viruses;
- 0.8% were “common cold” coronaviruses.

Wastewater in Vancouver and North Shore seem to be holding steady; Fraser Health might be going up, it might be noise, it’s hard to tell.
