Flu Activity Slowing in Minnesota

The flu season appears to be waning in Minnesota.  The latest update from the State Department of Health shows 19 people were hospitalized with influenza last week, down from 32 the previous week.  Seven Minnesota schools and one long-term care facility reported flu outbreaks.  There were four more flu-related deaths for a total of 142 since October. State health officials were hoping for an early peak in this year’s flu season.
