WI DHS Reports Flu Cases Continue, But Not Climbing

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services says flu numbers across the state are easing.

The report shows respiratory illness levels are leveling out statewide, but local flu activity remains high. Pediatricians say this flu season has been more severe for kids, with symptoms developing faster and lasting longer. Doctors note a circulating H-3-N-2 strain is contributing to the increased severity and rapid onset. Health leaders say children can still receive a flu shot, with flu season expected to peak in February.
