Germany recorded 79,263 cases of current winter flu wave with 130 people deaths, Germany’s federal disease control agency reported on Thursday.
“The current winter flu wave hitting Germany has resulted in a total of 79,263 cases confirmed in laboratory testing since the autumn, around a half of them in the past two weeks,’’ it said.
According to the report from the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin, 130 people have died resulting from an infection with the flu virus this season.
A total of almost 13,300 have been hospitalised.
The institute noted that the reported cases were only part of the picture.

Creches, hospitals and schools were prime spreaders of infection, it said.
