The number of people in our country the past week with flu-like symptoms to the doctor, rose for the fifth week in a row. This is evident from the weekly griepbulletin the Scientific Institute of Public Health (Wiv). It is even to the highest number of in at least six years. The number of people in the period from 28 January to 3 February with flu-like symptoms to consultation was at the doctor's office, is rising again. The number of consultations in the course of that week was over the threshold of high intensity and reaches a peak that even the last six years was not reached.
"Possible, we are dealing here with a record for the last ten years', shall inform viroloog Marc Of Ranst.
For the fifth week in this flu season remains the epidemic persist. According to Ranst may not take effect until the end of the flu season conclusions be drawn about the seriousness of the epidemic .
'But the peak that we now see in the statistics gives an indication.'
