Influenza A has been plowing it’s way through communities these last few weeks as well.
“Numbers (of absence) have been going down every day this week,” says Dr. Nebesniak. She also mentions the school has been deep cleaning the buildings making sure all surfaces are disinfected including lockers. They have also been sure to clean and disinfect the air in the evening while students are gone to help rid of any further absence.
