LANSING (WKZO) — State health officials say a child has died from the flu. It is the first death of an adolescent in southeast Michigan this year.
The Michigan Department of Community Health did not release the age of the child or where they died, citing privacy concerns. There have been more than a dozen adult deaths attributed to the flu this year.
Health officials say the outbreak of the flu seems to be declining based on their latest statistics showing just 41 people hospitalized due to the virus through January 10th.
