Peak flu season claims three Sask. children
It has been a deadly flu season across Canada and Saskatchewan this year.
According to the province’s influenza surveillance report, six people have died of the flu as of Dec. 29, and the Ministry of Health has confirmed three were children under the age of five.
During the same timeframe, there were only two reported deaths from influenza last year.
The flu season started earlier this year and Saskatchewan’s chief medical officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said it has peaked. However, he’s expecting another two to four weeks of transmission.
