Over the weekend, individual Provinces and Territories may release case numbers, however there will be no formal case number reporting to the Public Health Agency of Canada. The Provincial and Territorial numbers will be reflected in the national case number update on Wednesday, May 20.
The evidence gathered so far indicates the H1N1 flu virus causes only mild illness in most cases and spreads much like seasonal influenza.
