Weekly Respiratory Infection Update

  • In the fall of 2024, HPEPH will be launching an expanded respiratory illness dashboard, including information related to COVID-19.
  • The updated dashboard will serve to reflect the level of risk in the community. If the level of risk for any respiratory virus is such that additional public notification is required, HPEPH will notify partners or the public.
  • Both the COVID-19 Dashboard and the Weekly Respiratory Infection Update will not be updated over the summer months, while work is underway to finalize the new respiratory illness dashboard.
  • As the spread of respiratory virus is typically low throughout the summer months, reporting of respiratory illness indicators during this time will be limited to outbreaks in high-risk settings.
  • Work to prevent and respond to COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses will continue, in alignment with the Ontario Public Health Standards, as it is now integrated into our ongoing operations.
  • Provincial data on respiratory viruses continues to be available through Public Health Ontario.
