Sixteen people are in hospital – three of whom are in critical condition – and there has been one flu-related death.
COVID cases are also on the rise.
That’s prompted health officials to impose mandatory masking in all health care facilities.
Vaccine clinics are still available and shots can be booked through the provincial government’s Time for the Shot website or your local pharmacy.
