(1) Note: P/Ts may choose to announce cases that have been confirmed after 15:00 EDT.
These cases will be reflected in the next epidemiological update.
(2) Number of deaths is included in the number of cases
******************************
To date 121 hospitalizations and four deaths have been reported among laboratory-confirmed cases. The most recent date of symptom onset is June 2nd, 2009.
The following graph, also known as an epidemic curve, is up to date as of June 5, 2009. The graph illustrates the course of the current H1N1 flu virus outbreak in Canada. It shows either the date when symptoms of H1N1 flu virus began or, if this date was not available, the date when a specimen was collected, for each of the laboratory-confirmed cases.

When interpreting the graph, it should be noted that:
* The graph is prepared retrospectively and is updated daily using the information available at that time. It is not as current as Table 1 that contains the summary of laboratory-confirmed cases, as information about the date of onset of symptoms takes more time to compile.
* There is always a delay from the date that an illness starts to the date the case is reported to public health authorities. This delay is the result of the time required for patients to see their physicians, laboratory testing to be completed, and results to be communicated to public health authorities.
