The medical director at the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) says tests at the State Hygienic Laboratory have confirmed three cases of flu in the state. Doctor Patty Quinlisk says the confirmed cases are in Henry, Johnson and Polk counties.
Quinlisk says the tests from the early flu cases are another reason you’ll want to be protected.
The flu is here every year and Quinlisk says there’s no disputing that it poses a health risk.
Influenza cases have also been confirmed in South Dakota and Minnesota, but none have been confirmed yet in Nebraska.
