Flu almost non-existent this year as coronavirus cases rise across Canada -
Fears of a “twindemic” have not materialized this year, with hardly any cases of the flu in Canada this season, while COVID-19 cases continue to rise across the country.
Testing for the flu has been significantly higher than in past years. From Dec. 6 to 12, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) tallied 14,113 tests, twice the average for this week over the past six seasons. Just 0.02 per cent of tests were positive, compared with an average 16.8 per cent over the previous six years.
