According to the Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs, the number of people showing flu-like symptoms per 1,000 outpatients fell to 2.8 during the 10th week of this year from 3.3 the previous week. The 10th week refers to the period from Feb. 28 to March 6.

The rate stood at 9.69 during the first week of this year but has been falling steadily ever since, indicating that the infection rate of the highly contagious disease is subsiding. The ministry expects the rate will fall below 2.6 in the following week, a benchmark level that determines the government's move to issue or withdraw a flu watch.
