Northwoods not clear of flu season yet

RHINELANDER - Doctors think fewer people in Wisconsin are now getting the flu compared to last month. But that reduction doesn't mean we're all in the clear yet. Wisconsin is still in the middle of a very active flu season.

Doctors at the Aspirus Rhinelander Clinic are treating flu cases regularly. They think the flu season in the Northwoods tends to last longer than in other parts of the state.

"Typically, our flu season in Northern Wisconsin will last into March and April," says Dr. Jerome Andres. "It came a little early this year. It came on a lot stronger this year than we were hoping."
