H1N1 Weekly Update: Week of December 21, 2009
Surveillance:
Currently, there is widespread influenza-like activity in New Jersey, which signifies there is flu activity in virtually every county in the state.
The Department is reporting one H1N1 influenza-related death this week:
A 52-year-old Bergen County female with underlying medication conditions. She was hospitalized on Nov. 16 and died on Dec. 9.
Including today?s death, a total of 21 H1N1 deaths have been reported since Sept. 1, 2009. There were 18 deaths reported to the CDC during last spring?s H1N1 outbreak
Due to the move of the DHSS Communicable Disease Services to a new building, this week?s influenza report to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was delayed. As a result, New Jersey activity this week will not be reported on the CDC?s weekly nationwide influenza report on Dec. 25, 2009. The Department will report two weeks of surveillance data to the CDC on Dec. 29, 2009, which will appear on the CDC weekly report on Jan. 1, 2010.
