PORT ANGELES ? Health officials are seeing a growing number of flu cases requiring hospital care across the North Olympic Peninsula as the season approaches its peak, the region?s public health officer said.
A Clallam County man who had the flu died, but Dr. Tom Locke, public health officer for Clallam and Jefferson counties, said flu did not appear to be the cause.
Locke had told the Clallam County Board of Health this week that ?we?re probably two to three weeks away from the peak? of flu season in Western Washington.
?It?s likely that influenza will stay circulating in the community until sometime in March,? he added.
