    Document: To establish whether seasonal influenza was detectable in the dataset, weekly case numbers were compared with weekly sentinel influenza cases recorded by the ECDC in England (see Figure 3B ).

The non-sentinel surveillance is a passive system using patient samples for laboratory confirmation of a variety of sources which are not necessarily from patients showing symptoms of an influenza infection [30] . This could be explained by the nature of the non-sentinel data, which includes routine patient samples, because the screening is non-targeted.
