According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Missouri has one of the most active flu seasons in the country right now. It joins Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Virginia and North Dakota in that category.

OzarksFirst spoke with the Springfield-Greene County Health Department (SGCHD) and CoxHealth and learned how the flu is impacting the Ozarks.

Aaron Schekorra, a public health information administrator, says SGCHD reported an increase in flu numbers in December. This concerned him up until two or three weeks ago, which is when numbers started to drop. The full story can be read on ozarksfirst.com.
