In this Respiratory Virus Report, the number of detections of coronavirus reflects only seasonal human coronaviruses, not the novel pandemic coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19. For information on COVID-19, see the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Outbreak update

Overall Summary

September 26 to October 2, 2021 (week 39)

Respiratory virus detections continue to increase in Canada

  • Enterovirus/rhinovirus (1,104 detections; 31.2% positive), respiratory syncytial virus (769 detections; 10.0% positive), and human parainfluenza virus (319 detections; 8.5% positive) are the most common seasonal respiratory viruses detected in Canada.
    • Activity of enterovirus/rhinovirus is near expected levels for this time of year.
    • Activity of respiratory syncytial virus is above expected levels. The majority of detections are found in Quebec.
    • Activity of human parainfluenza virus is above expected levels.
  • Detections of other respiratory viruses are low.
  • The number of tests performed for all viruses are above expected levels.
  • 31/34 sentinel laboratories reported surveillance data.

The data in the RVDSS report represent surveillance data available at the time of writing. Data missing from the current week are denoted by N.R. Data not collected by reporting lab denoted by N.C.

The reporting laboratory previously listed as CHEO - Ottawa is now listed as EORLA to better reflect data submitted by this provider.

Specimens from Yukon (YT), Northwest Territories (NT) and Nunavut (NU) are sent to reference laboratories in other provinces and reported results reflect specimens identified as originating from YT, NT or NU.

Results from British Columbia comprise of specimens from the following sites: BC Children's and Women's Hospital, Children's and Women's Hospital Laboratory, Fraser Health Medical Microbiology Laboratory, Island Health, Providence Health Care, Powell River Hospital, St. Paul's Hospital, Vancouver General Hospital, Victoria General Hospital, BCCDC Public Health Laboratory, Interior Health Authority sites and Northern Health Authority sites.

Delays in the reporting of data may cause data to change retrospectively.

Influenza co-detections may cause the sum of A(H1)pdm09, A(H3), and A(UnS) positive results to exceed the sum of Total Flu A Positive results.
