Conversely do you have evidence it isn't / wasn't in lockdown? I don't know for that particular location. I'm sure you could call them to confirm it. Our local one does have sporadic lockdowns. Covid and flu can both trigger it. It's not that unusual. Last one here that was media reported was November 2023. Probably less interest in them being reported widely in the media these days so wouldn't surprise me if there has been other more recent ones.
I bet none of them are reported now. Covid. Gastro. All treated the same. Normal life.
