Influenza/Influenza-like Illness Activity - Current Week
FluWatch is Canada's national surveillance system that monitors the spread of flu and flu-like illnesses on an on-going basis.
Activity Level surveillance is a component of FluWatch that provides an overall assessment of the intensity and geographical spread of laboratory-confirmed influenza cases, influenza-like-illness (ILI) and reported outbreaks for a given surveillance region. Activity Levels are assigned and reported by Provincial and Territorial Ministries of Health. A surveillance region can be classified under one of the four following categories: no activity, sporadic, localized or widespread.
For a description of the categories, see the data dictionary resource. For more information on flu activity in Canada, see the FluWatch report.

Note: The reported activity levels are a reflection of the surveillance data available to FluWatch at the time of production. Delays in reporting of data may cause data to change retrospectively.
