Canadian health officials are expected to provide an update on the COVID-19 pandemic on Friday.
On Wednesday, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that cases are continuing to decline globally and that weekly death rates from COVID-19 are at their lowest point since March 2020.
He adds, however, that "South African scientists who identified Omicron late last year, have now reported two more Omicron sub-variants. BA.4 and BA.5 are the reason for a spike in cases in South Africa."
Flu infections are increasing in Canada – an unusual trend for this time of year when cases typically are in decline.
Since the beginning of April, detections of influenza have “sharply increased,” the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said in its latest FluWatch report published April 22.
