A
A
Yes-
and
she
is
we're
here
today
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
flu
occurrences
that
are
happening
in
Cabell
County
and
our
surrounding
region
and
sort
of
to
let
you
know
what
the
situation
here
is
in
Cabell
County
and
how
that
affects
our
schools.
So,
first
of
all,
Elizabeth
won't
you
give
us
a
little
update
of
what
is
happening
in
Campbell
County
right
now,
so.
B
Right
now,
in
cowboy
County,
we
are
definitely
seeing
a
high
increase
of
flu
in
our
area,
so
we
are
seeing
it
with
with
all
ages
and,
of
course,
our
at-risk
populations.
We
definitely
want
to
make
sure
that
they
are
taking
those
precautions,
because
flu
is
widespread
right
now
throughout
Powell
County.
Yes,.
A
B
B
Absolutely
that
is
one
of
the
best
ways
you
can
protect
yourself.
You
know,
if
you
have
flu
symptoms,
it
is
best
to
stay
home,
stay
home,
to
protect
yourself
get
better,
but
not
to
spread
anything
that
you
may
have.
So
that's
definitely
a
precaution
that
we
recommend.
Of
course,
number
one
is
to
get
your
flu
shot.
It's
most
important.
You
can
still
get
it
at
the
health
department.
B
Too
late,
we
still
recommend
it.
It's
still
beginning
of
February,
so
we
are
still
in
peak
season
of
the
flu
right
now.
So
it's
still
important
to
get
your
flu
shot.
If
you
have
it
again,
it's
free
at
the
health
department
Monday
through
Friday.
So
that's
you
know
number
one
number
two
stay
home:
if
you're
sick,
definitely
don't
want
to
be
spreading
any
germs
use
proper.
You
know
hand
etiquette
with
your
hand-washing,
but
also.
A
A
B
B
A
B
A
B
A
B
Is
not
recommend.
No,
the
health
department
follow
state
guidance
through
the
West
Virginia
office
of
Epidemiology
and
prevention
services,
and
they
do
not
recommend
school
closures
unless
there
is
just
simply
a
lot
of
teachers
are
out
and
they
are
sick.
Obviously
we
need
to
have
instructors
to
do
so,
but
that
would
be
our
only
reason.
Just.
B
B
A
A
B
Very
simple:
keep
them
home.
You
know,
monitor
their
symptoms,
of
course,
take
them
to
the
doctor
to
get
tested
for
the
flu.
You
know,
there's
medication,
the
doctor
can
prescribe
just
good
hand.
Hygiene
cleaning
surfaces
is
so
important.
Yes,
the
flu
can
live
on
a
surface
for
two
to
eight
hours
in
some
cases,
so
it's
important
to
be
cleaning.
You
know
every
day,
even
after
school
is
out
and
so
forth.
So
it's
just
really
important.
A
B
B
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
joining
us
for
our
flu
updates.
Are
there
and
helping
keep
all
of
our
parents
and
our
community
informed
about
what
is
going
on
with
our
school
system
we're
trying
to
monitor
the
situation
daily.
We
are
tracking
attendance
daily,
sharing
that
information
with
the
Health
Department
officials
and
will
continue
communicating
with
them,
and
hopefully
this
flu
season
will
pass
soon.
Absolutely.
