Of the ten flu-related deaths reported in New Hanover County, five were at long-term care facilities.

There were 1,606 people hospitalized with confirmed cases of the flu in NY last week. DSHS said their data is reported as it is received from the CDC, which can be weeks after the death occurred, and weekly surveillance data should not be interpreted as the number of deaths that occurred that week. Of the people who tested positive, 332 had a heart attack in the year before or after their flu specimen was tested. In addition to DHEC, many local providers, including doctors' offices, pharmacies, college health centers, schools, and workplaces, are still offering flu vaccines. According to medical officials this year's flu season is already the most widespread on record.

There has also been at least one flu-related death in Brunswick County, a spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.

There were also 156 confirmed cases in Broome County, 217 in Dutchess County, 1,190 in Westchester, and 1,207 in Monroe County.
