Canada’s flu season has peaked and is showing signs of being nearly over, according to the latest national FluWatch report released on Jan. 13.

The report said that for the week of Jan.1 to Jan.7, influenza had “declined sharply” from the peak that occurred at the end of November 2022, and is now “below expected pre-pandemic levels.”
