Canada
Santé Index
Vancouver scores 52.94 (HIGH risk) as of 2026-08-07 — the highest score among all 16 host cities. Two disease signals drive this rating. Measles scores the maximum 100/100, based on Canada's national outbreak of 944 confirmed cases through Epidemiological Week 16 (PAHO Situation Report 3), with British Columbia's share estimated via PHAC historical provincial distribution; incidence is estimated at 3.02 cases per 100,000. COVID-19 scores 85/100, reflecting very high case incidence of 62.42 per 100,000 in the current surveillance window. No wastewater-based epidemiology data are available for Canada in this pipeline cycle. Coverage is low (46%), derived from PAHO national proportional estimates at provincial level, and figures may underestimate true burden. Conditions are mild and dry (19°C, 78% relative humidity, no precipitation). International arrivals total 16,900. MMR vaccination (two doses) should be verified for all attendees and accredited personnel prior to arrival. COVID-19 precautions — including respiratory hygiene and masking in crowded indoor settings — are strongly recommended. Public health teams should maintain heightened vigilance for both measles importation events and respiratory cluster detection throughout the tournament period.
