Flu rates continue to decline following a sharp early peak in November and December, RSV levels remain high but are levelling off, and COVID-19 cases remain steady, Dr. Bonnie Henry said in a respiratory illness update Friday.
Influenza A, the H3N2 virus, caused the most illness and more severe illness, particularly in children and the elderly. Another wave of Influenza B is expected later this season but is not expected to be as severe because most people have been exposed to it.Henry said just 24 cases of the latest Omicron subvariant, XBB.1.5 or Kraken, have been identified via whole genome sequencing of positive COVID tests in the province.
Wastewater surveillance, ongoing since 2020, has expanded with additional testing sites in Interior Health and Island Health. Public health is also looking at genome sequencing of Influenza A and B and RSV detected in wastewater, said Henry. Health Minister Adrian Dix said B.C. hospitals are at 110 per cent of base bed capacity, and 87 per cent of total base and surge bed capacity.
