The number of confirmed H1N1 flu cases in New Zealand has cracked the 100 mark. The latest cases are from Canterbury, where 13 people have been confirmed with the virus.
They are linked to one person who visited Melbourne this month.
The virus is now affecting the lives of hundreds of New Zealanders, with several schools sending students home.
Year 12 students at Auckland's Westlake Girls High School have been asked by the Ministry of Health to stay home for the week, while Burnside High School in Christchurch has more than 70 students in isolation.
Meanwhile, the Government is continuing a strategy of trying to contain the flu, in a bid to stop hospitals being overloaded with flu victims.
