Sick? Stay home!
Flu cases are way up.
According to the State Health Department, more than 1,100 people sick with the flu were admitted to the hospital at the end of January.
Officials with the Winston-Salem / Forsyth County schools said while attendance is important, they urge anyone who is sick to stay home. And return to school ONLY if your symptoms improve (no fever / without pain reliever) for 24 hours. https://www.wsfcs.k12.nc.us/
