The Center for Disease Control and Prevention says the state of Maryland is one of two states reporting a high number of flu cases. The other state is Louisiana.
The flu virus has actually been tracked in half of the regions in the state. It has health officials reminding people to get the flu shot and to make sure that they wipe down surfaces.
In the last month the number of flu cases in Maryland has jumped from 36 to 68 weekly. In total that’s 230 people who have contracted the virus.
If your wondering flu season runs all the way through March.
