Those aged 18-49 years old represent the largest group for positive flu cases, comprising 312 of the total cases reported, followed by 5-17-year-olds with 185 cases. It is important to note that influenza cases are only reported if there is a hospitalization or if the positive test comes from a minor.
Even as we approach April, flu season is not over. It is important to remain cautious, and it’s not too late to receive your flu vaccine. Vaccination is the single most effective way to protect yourself and others from the flu. Also Remember to:
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially after being in public places or around sick people.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow to prevent spreading germs.
- Stay home if you’re feeling unwell to avoid making others sick.
Stay safe and healthy!
