There were 216 total flu cases reported during the final week in March, the most recent reporting period for which figures are available.

The department says that's sharply down from the season-high single-week total of 1,521 cases during mid-February. Still, officials say residents shouldn't think flu season is over.

Residents should take precautions including staying home from school or work if sick and seeking care at the first sign of illness.
