The global COVID-19 pandemic led to the rapid development of an integrated provincial surveillance system for BC. This system bridges multiple data sources including case and outbreak data from health authorities and provincial lab systems. This system is flexible to new information and data, such as variants of concern, reinfections and immunization data, and support daily and weekly reporting. The system generates timely daily outputs which provide crucial information to inform the public while also providing stakeholders with data that has been used to inform actions and decisions. The impact, outputs strengths and limitations of the provincial surveillance system will be highlighted.
