New Zealand : Pandemic Influenza H1N1 2009 (swine flu) – Update 193

New Zealand's MOH latest H1N1 update :

" Overall influenza activity continues to increase and is at the level usually seen at this time of year. The pandemic influenza virus is circulating in our communities, though the rate of consultation for influenza-like illness identified through sentinel general practices remains below the baseline level.

As was the case last year, although most people get over the infection without developing complications or becoming more seriously ill, this is not the case for everyone. So far during 2010 there have been 4 people treated in ICUs, and one person suspected as having died due to the infection."
