Victoria could be in for another frightful flu season with reported cases in the state this year more than triple what they were at the same time in 2018.
It comes after flu cases dropped to about 11,000 last year following an alarming 2017 where more than 48,000 people were diagnosed with the illness.
Cases have already skyrocketed to 5372 so far this year, compared with 1744 at the same time last year, prompting the state government to warn to Victorians about the disease.
