Flu Bug Closes Area Schools for Friday, January 17th

State and national health officials have been warning that influenza is impacting a large number of people across the country, and now that message has become a reality in south central Ohio.

.

Miami Trace Local Schools in Fayette County and Leesburg Fairfield Local Schools in Highland County will be closed on Friday, January 17th, due to a high volume of student absence from Influenza B cases.

.

As a result, the Friday night boys basketball games involving Miami Trace at Chillicothe are being postponed to a later date. That reschedule date has not yet been determined.

.

Ohio Department of Health announced earlier last week that hospitalizations from influenza had more than doubled over the year before for the same period as last year.
