There are now 13 confirmed cases of the flu in Delaware.

That’s above the figure in 2015 but still – what has been called – a relatively quiet start to the flu season.  

The Delaware Division of Public Health says that does not take into account those who have the flu but have not sought medical attention.

Authorities are recommending that local residents over the age of months get their flu shots.
