January 2018
The latest Public Health England (PHE) report shows that seasonal flu continues to circulate across the UK. The statistics illustrate that during the third week in January there was a stabilisation in the GP consultation rate with flu-like illness, a 12% reduction in the flu hospitalisation rate, and a 14% reduction in the flu intensive care admission rate. The figures indicate that the outbreak is now affecting fewer adults, with a growing number of children unwell.
