Number of deaths rises to six at the nursing home where Influenza A outbreak was identified

The death toll from an Influenza A outbreak at a nursing home has reached six, with one additional resident currently hospitalized. Public health authorities are monitoring the situation and investigating the facility's conditions.

Why it matters

While this is a specific incident at one facility, it serves as a public health reminder that Influenza A outbreaks can have severe outcomes in communal living environments; if you have family in long-term care, you may wish to check the facility's current respiratory virus protocols.
