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.
ILI (GP consultations for influenza-like illness)
Incidence per 100,000 inhabitants
(0-234) (>234-544) (>544-902) (>902)
ARI (GP consultations for other acute respiratory infections)
Incidence per 100,000 inhabitants
(0-1337) (>1337-1534) (>1534-2046) (>2046)
NH (Influenza-like illness in nursing homes)
Incidence per week per 1000 residents

SARI-C (SARI with complications)
Incidence per 100,000 inhabitants (severe complications)
(0-2.0) (>2.0-3.5) (>3.5-5.7) (>5.7)
Wastewater (virus circulation level)
Qualitative circulation level reported by Sciensano
Low Moderate High Very high
Explanation and Legend
The charts show the most recent ten reported weeks (w30-w39). Bars are colored according to the Sciensano threshold system. ND stands for 'No Data' where values are not yet available (w39 for SARI and SARI-C). The wastewater chart shows the qualitative circulation level rather than an incidence value.
- Green: Low risk (baseline level)
- Yellow: Medium risk (warning level)
- Orange: High risk
- Red: Very high risk
