One High School, 1,000 Students Out Sick With Flu-Like Symptoms

The outbreak occurred last week at Stafford High School, in northern Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C.

  • So many students with flu-like symptoms prompted administrators to cancel this weekend’s activities and athletics.
  • Whether extra-curricular, and perhaps classes, will resume in full this week won’t be decided until Monday.
  • The high number of absences is equal to about half of the school’s entire 2,000-person student population.
  • Teachers are also suffering from flu-like and gastrointestinal symptoms, with state health officials investigating the outbreak.
