The number of cases are surging to 4x times levels in the last 2 years
Flu cases are surging across Simcoe Muskoka, with levels already more than four times higher than this time in the past two years. The health unit says a shift in the dominant flu strain is driving the spike, especially among children.
Residents are being urged to get their flu shot as soon as possible, with vaccines widely available at pharmacies and health-care providers. With holiday gatherings coming up, officials warn cases will likely rise further. They’re reminding people to stay home when sick, wash hands often, and consider masking in busy indoor spaces.
