2025-2026 Respiratory Season Dashboard Updates
At the end of each respiratory virus season, Toronto Public Health (TPH) reviews this dashboard and makes revisions based on community feedback, new data sources, and changes to existing data sources or reporting requirements. The following updates have been made to the dashboard:
- A new and improved summary section to help see respiratory virus trends in Toronto at-a-glance.
- Influenza cases are now from the Ontario Laboratories Information System (OLIS) to align with Ontario Ministry of Health reporting.
- The National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) is no longer testing wastewater from the Highland Creek and North Toronto treatment plants. The two remaining plants—Ashbridges Bay and Humber—cover about 73% of Toronto’s population. To better reflect what the data represent, the Wastewater Indicator has been updated from ‘City-Wide’ to ‘Overall’.
