Quinte Health Care’s Chief of Infection Control is back at work after five days sick with the H-1-N-1 flu.
Doctor Michael de la Roche says he and his daughter, who also got the same strain of the flu, had a cough, fever, sore joint, and sore throat.
He says it’s important the message gets out, but it has to be presented accurately, since H-1-N-1 is not that virulent, but is more prevalent than what normally happens in a flu season .
Doctor de la Roche says some staff at Q-H-C have come down with H-1-N-1, which he says is a reflection of what’s going on in the community.
