Influenza continues to be a prominent disease in parts of Kentucky. Christina King is with the Fayette County Health Department. King said the number of flu cases reported last week was almost a doubling of the previous week.
“We have 724 total flu cases this season already. You know, we’ve not seen numbers like that in almost three years. But, those are just the lab-confirmed cases. That only represents a small percentage of the actual flu cases that are in Lexington,” said King.
