How is flu monitored in England?
Public Health England (PHE) monitors flu through a network of GP practices, hospitals, and laboratories. They track cases, hospital admissions, and deaths to assess the season's severity and spread. This surveillance helps health officials, like Professor Swords, identify trends such as the current early rise in admissions.
