Swine Flu Pandemic
An outbreak of H1N1 Swine Flu was reported in Mexico in April 2009. By the end of May, it had spread across the U.S., with all 50 states reporting cases.
Wichita — Flu activity is dropping across Kansas.
Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported Friday in its weekly H1N1 report that fewer Kansas schools are seeing high absenteeism rates.
At the elementary level, the percentage of schools reporting absenteeism rates of 10 percent or more fell to 15 percent from 33 percent.
The agency also said that the number of people going to the doctor to be treated for flu symptoms is down.
So far, 17 people from Kansas have died from the swine flu.
