Case Counts: For the period of Feb. 28 - March 6, no cases of H1N1 virus were confirmed by Delaware's Division of Public Health (DPH) lab, similar to the previous week. There were no new hospitalizations from H1N1 during the week of Feb. 28 - March 6, and Delaware's influenza activity status remains sporadic. There were four reports of influenza-like illness from DPH's network of sentinel providers from Feb. 28 - March 6, with the number of influenza-like illnesses from the previous week updated to one. The total number of confirmed H1N1 cases since Oct. 4 remains 1,975.
As announced previously, a 47-year-old Kent County man who was hospitalized since Feb. 8 with several underlying health conditions became Delaware's seventh H1N1-related death March 7.
