Healthcare professionals are concerned the Easter weekend will bring increased transmission of the flu.
25,000 cases have been recorded so far this year, with the new 'Super-K' strain spreading faster than previous variants.
Pharmacist Kate Gunthorpe says Super-K has been circulating earlier than usual.
It's not necessarily more severe, but what we are seeing is more easily contracted. So that's why it's so important to be keeping up with our hand hygiene, staying home when we're sick, and thinking about looking after ourselves when we are feeling a little bit under the weather.
