Respi-Radar
The Respi-Radar is the official tool used in Belgium to monitor the circulation of respiratory viruses like flu and RSV. It uses a simple color-coded system (green, yellow, orange, red) to indicate the current risk level.
The data is provided by Sciensano and assessed by the Risk Assessment Group (RAG) to provide a clear overview of public health trends.
Soon on our displays: Alongside the wastewater data, the Respi-Radar data will also be featured on our public displays, offering a complete and easy-to-understand picture of community health.

(0-13.9) (>13.9-19.7) (>19.7-22.6) (>22.6)
SARI-C (SARI with complications)
Incidence per 100,000 inhabitants (severe complications)
(0-2.0) (>2.0-3.5) (>3.5-5.9) (>5.9)
Explanation and Legend
The charts show the incidence values over the weeks, with bars colored according to the risk system. Heights are scaled relative to the maximum threshold. ND stands for 'No Data' where values are missing (e.g., w48 for SARI and SARI-C).
- Green: Low risk (baseline level)
- Yellow: Medium risk (warning level)
- Orange: High risk
- Red: Very high risk
