COVID-19 Infections Could Be Rising

Agency says there are fluctuations in COVID-19 indicators

The Public Health Agency of Canada says there are signs COVID-19 infections may be on the rise.

The agency claims after a long period of gradual decline, there are fluctuations in COVID-19 activity indicators. 

It says this may be an early sign of increases, though overall activity is still on the low side across the country. 

Scientists are keeping a close eye on the new EG.5 subvariant.

Experts say EG.5 is accounting for the majority of new cases in the US, and has recently found its way to Canada.
