New surge of COVID-19 cases worried should we be?

As Canadians continue to enjoy the last bit of summer's sun-soaked days, doctors say they are bracing for a potential "tripledemic" of influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and COVID-19, signalling the imminent arrival of respiratory flu season.

Last flu season - which typically runs from November to March in Canada - saw a surge of all three respiratory viruses across the country, especially among children.

As school starts again, Dr. Isaac Bogoch joins Global News for a comprehensive update on the current state of COVID-19.

He discusses the resurgence of cases, the potential challenges of the BA.2.86 variant, Canada's preparedness for a tripledemic - and insights into the role of dogs for COVID-19 detection.
