Weekly highlights
General trends
- Nationally, continued decreases or stabilization in COVID-19 case counts, percent positivity, and outbreak incidence, indicate that COVID-19 transmission for the most recent surge may have peaked. Trends in these indicators of transmission vary across provinces and territories
Hospitalizations and deaths
- Nationally, there has been a continued decline in hospital use and COVID-19 deaths.
- The weekly rate of COVID-19 cases hospitalized and admitted to ICU remained highest among individuals aged 60 years and older.
Variants
- In recent weeks, clinical sequencing shows steady increases in immune evasive variants BQ.1, BQ.1.1, and BF.7, while previously dominant BA.5.2 and BA.5.2.1 lineages are declining. Across Canada, regional variability exists in the key lineages under observation.

Epidemic curve
As of June 25, 2021, 9 am ET, PHAC has received detailed case report data on cases.
The shaded area for Figures 2 and 3 represents a period of accumulating data where it is known or expected that cases, and severe outcomes have occurred but have not yet been reported nationally. We update this information as it becomes available.
Due to changes in COVID-19 testing policies in many jurisdictions since December 2021, case counts are under-estimated.
