INDIANAPOLIS — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the flu in Indiana is now widespread.
The change in status from a regional outbreak to widespread for Indiana and 10 other states is based on CDC data for the number of influenza-like illnesses reported in state medical visits.
The Indiana State Department of Health figures show 79 percent of flu-like illnesses were positive for influenza in the last week of January but no new strains were circulating across the state. The state had two more flu-associated deaths that week and now has four overall this season.
Epidemiologist Shawn Richards said the state expects flu cases to multiply because of more flu-like activity at universities. She said the best protection is to get vaccinated and to wash hands frequently.
