Weekly Reporting of Laboratory-confirmed Influenza Case Counts

  • As of October 13, 2024, public health units (PHUs) that have opted to report, on a weekly basis, laboratory-confirmed influenza case counts summarized by type, subtype and week to PHO should use this drop box to do so.
  • PHUs submitting laboratory confirmed influenza cases in summary format must use the [PHU acronym] influenza case counts.xlsx template, available on the iPHIS and Cognos Document Repository under the following path: User Guides > OM cases and contacts > Influenza case reporting 2024-25:
    • Ensure the completed template is saved as an Excel Workbook (*.xlsx) file using the following naming convention: [PHU acronym] influenza case counts.xlsx
    • See the “Instructions” tab of the template for each PHU specific file name.
  • Each PHU must submit one influenza case counts file on Wednesdays by noon, for the most recently completed surveillance week. If Wednesday is a holiday, then the file can be submitted the next business day by noon.
  • If you have any questions about completing or uploading the file, please contact Communicable.DiseaseControl@oahpp.ca (formerly Health Protection).
