This year’s harsh influenza season seems to have reached its peak in Brunswick County.
Locally, flu season hit its prime in early February and has been on a steady decline every since, Brunswick County Health Services director Cris Harrelson said last week.
Harrelson cited the North Carolina Influenza Surveillance Summary, Influenza Like Illness (ILI).
“The geographic spread of flu was downgraded from widespread to regional on the latest summary report,” Harrelson wrote in a March 19 email.
