Professor Paul Cosford, PHE medical director, said: “Our data continues to show that more people are visiting GPs with flu symptoms and we are seeing more people hospital with flu. In terms of hospital admission this is season since the winter of 2010/11 and the preceding pandemic year of 2009, although it is still not an epidemic. We are currently seeing a mix of flu types, including the AH3N2 strain last winter in the UK and then in Australia.
