flu

With six cases reported, for all practical purposes, we can now say this year's flu season is officially underway here in the Peace Garden State.

This year's flu season is one of the worst we've seen and Sanford Health wants to help limit it spreading further.

The virus is considered widespread in 36 states including North Dakota.

The N.D. Health Department has raised the level of flu activity to widespread.

According to the CDC, as of Thursday, December 14th, the flu virus is registered in the regional category for the state.

As of this week, there are more cases of the flu that have been reported than last year.

Maybe you haven't gotten the flu this season and nobody you know has gotten it. Expect that to change soon.

In case you didn't know, there is a website dedicated to track flu cases in North Dakota.

It's that time of the year. It's time to get a flu shot.

The flu virus has killed fifteen children from complications so far this season, and the CDC has officially declared the illness an epidemic.
