- Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, other circulating respiratory viruses remain a threat to people living in health care settings. In response to a need for information and recommendations about them, the Quebec Committee on Nosocomial Infections (CINQ) published a series of five fact sheets in 2021 to guide those responsible for the prevention and control of respiratory viruses other than SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare settings. This set of fact sheets was updated in fall 2022. These are: Characteristics of infectious agents; Definition of terms; Laboratory analyses; Measures to be put in place for the respiratory virus season and in the presence of a clinical or confirmed case of a respiratory virus; and Outbreak Situation.
