COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

There were fewer cases of influenza reported around Missouri during the week of Dec. 28-Jan. 3 than the previous week, according to information from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.

The total of 7,582 cases still puts the Show-Me State in the “very high” category, but it is down by 10 cases from the prior week.

Most flu cases in Missouri are influenza A, which includes the subclade “K” strain that has been going around.

The DHSS says there have been six flu-related deaths this season.
