Official statistics announcement
Weekly national flu report: week ending 29 May 2016
National influenza report, tracking seasonal flu and other seasonal respiratory illnesses in the UK. Reports are routinely published every two weeks in the summer period and this is an additional weekly report. Due to the later than usual peak of flu activity this season, surveillance has shown that there are still low levels of flu B circulating in the community, even though overall flu activity has declined below baseline levels. For the benefit of public health, flu levels will therefore continue to be monitored and reported weekly for the next couple of weeks or until levels are as expected.
