[h=1]Influenza deaths: Queensland toll surges to 66[/h] Flu killed 66 people in Queensland in the first half of 2019 - that's 65 per cent more deaths than in the whole of 2018.
A record 28,896 laboratory-confirmed cases of the flu have been diagnosed across the state since the start of the year.
That figure is more than three times higher than the record flu season of 2017.
Queensland Health Minister Steven Miles said the 2019 rates were also five times higher than the average number of influenza cases across the state over the past five years.
"Too many Queenslanders are already dead, the season is yet to peak so we have to do more," Miles said on Wednesday.
