The distribution of H1N1 cases by reporting date shows that cases peaked on the 12
August 2009 with 531 cases, however it should be noted that number of cases on this day
differed from report to report thought the peak day remained consistent from the previous
reports, this maybe as a result of data validation process. Cases substantially declined
from 10 September to the 29 September 2009.
