Across Canada, there have been nearly 8,000 cases of the H1N1 since the outbreak began, and most have been mild.

Ontario reports an average of 9,000 cases of seasonal flu each year, and approximately 500 deaths.

Nationwide, the common flu sends about 20,000 Canadians to hospital each year. The Public Health Agency's website says between 4,000 and 8,000 Canadians can die of influenza and its complications annually, depending on the severity of the season.

The number of deaths in Ontario jumped to 12 even though the province's weekly bulletin lists 10 fatalities. A spokesman said that's because information on the latest deaths had not yet been officially submitted through the public health information system.
