The influenza biosurveillance programme carries out routine laboratory tests on random virus samples taken from patients in our clinics and hospitals to determine the circulating strains.
Latest data shows that 13% of samples taken from patients with influenza-like illness (ILI) are Influenza A (H1N1-2009)-positive.
This means that 13 in 100 patients with ILI have Influenza A (H1N1-2009). As observed in other countries, this proportion will grow as the virus spreads further in the community, and displaces other influenza strains.
