The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit confirmed the first four cases of flu in the area.
In a statement released midday on Friday, WECHU CEO Dr. Gary Kirk said one case was confirmed out in the community. The other three affected people are “in a facility.”
There were no cases of flu in Windsor-Essex at the same time last year, Kirk said.
According to the health unit, roughly 6,300 people in Windsor-Essex have been immunized so far.
