" About 80 percent of patients seen with flu are likely to have swine flu, says Harbour Health chairwoman Kate Baddock.
Doctors have been talking to patients over the telephone and advising them to stay at home to stop spreading the virus, she says.
Dr Baddock, who works at the Warkworth Medical Centre, says patients need to keep their temperature under control and drink plenty of fluids.
Harbour Health primary health organisation covers North Shore and Rodney areas.
Many swine flu patients are young children and young adults because they are the ones that have not been vaccinated, she says.
A lot of the Harbour Health elderly residents were vaccinated against the virus so they are not seeing as many elderly, says Dr Baddock."
