An outbreak of flu is spreading across Canada, with 107 new cases reported in the first week of the new year.

Officials say there have been 160 confirmed cases since last Saturday in the Ottawa region alone, five times higher than the same period last year. The virus has been blamed for the deaths of five elderly people in Ottawa so far this season. The Alberta region has seen more than 1,200 influenza cases, compared with 70 cases recorded during the same period of last year.
