Non-Notifiable Infectious Disease.
Influenza.
After the severe epidemic in the last quarter of the
previous year when the number of deaths recorded was
as high as 37 in the week ending the 11th November,
the disease lessened gradually in prevalence until the
first month of the year under review when there were
only 3 deaths. In February, however, the disease
again became epidemic reaching its maximum in the
last week of that month when 15 deaths occurred.
Fortunately the recrudescence was short-lived and
although deaths continued to occur in March and to a
less degree in April the disease practically ceased to
exist by the end of April.
