Cantabrians worried about their influenza symptoms are being urged to telephone the Canterbury Flu Line instead of turning up without an appointment at Flu Centres across the region.
A total of 140 people were yesterday seen at the Christchurch Flu Centre, which today tripled in size to cope with future demand. There were also a total of 957 calls to the Canterbury Flu Line yesterday, with most people being given advice over the telephone, rather than being booked for an appointment.
