The number of cases is well below the number of cases at this point in seven of the last eight seasons.

December 20-26 is the 52nd week of the year. In the 52nd week of 2014-15, there were more than 8,000 cases. There were over 7,000 at this point in 2019-20. Over 3,000 in 2017-18 and 2012-13. Over 2,000 in 2018-19 and 2016-17. More than 1,000 in 2013-14.

The 52nd week of the 2015-16 season was very similar to this year.

According to the Ministry of Health, symptoms of the flu include fever, headache, malaise, dry cough, sore throat, stuffy nose, and body aches.

The ministry states that the best way to prevent the flu is to get the flu vaccine every year. Other ways to stay healthy include washing your hands, covering your mouth and nose, not touching your face, cleaning the surface, and staying at home when you are ill.
