By
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Flu activity continued to grow in New York during the
week ending Jan. 29, killing another child and hospitalizing 961 people
statewide, according to a state health department report.
There have been four pediatric flu deaths so far this season. The
health department did not identify the counties where those deaths
occurred.
The state received 5,235 lab-confirmed flu reports during the week ending Jan. 29, a 20 percent increase over the previous week.
The Onondaga County Health Department received reports of 205
lab-confirmed flu cases for the week, up 90 percent from the previous
week.
Lab-confirmed cases represent the tip of the iceberg because most people who get the flu do not get tested.
