Last week, New York State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald confirmed that flu cases are now widespread across the state with a significant surge in New York City.
As of December 14, there have been 23,313 reported flu cases in 60 counties across New York, with hospitalizations increasing by 48%.
Numbers may continue to increase as this data was taken before the holidays, and family gatherings posed a higher risk of transmission.
If a child has a fever above 100.4F that doesn't improve, it’s best to contact a pediatrician, as it could be a sign of another infection.
