Los Angeles, Jan. 26: This winter’s flu epidemic has prompted school closures in at least 11 states across the United States, reports said on Friday.
School administrators closed campuses to prevent the spread of the virus and disinfect buildings, The Wall Street Journal reported. Schools have closed in at least 11 states, anywhere from a day to a week. Some administrators said many more students seem to have taken ill this flu season.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this week that transmission is now the most intense it has been since the 2009 pandemic. It will update the state of the epidemic on Friday.
“This is one of the worst that we’ve had in a while,” said Jim Norton, Superintendent of Gulf District Schools in Port St. Joe, Fla., which closed all its campuses Friday after about 20% of its 1,900 students missed school due to flulike symptoms.
