flu

The New Jersey State epidemiologist says the type of influenza that is now circulating can be more dangerous for younger and older populations.

From tea to medicine to good ol' fashioned rest, it seems every New Jersey resident has their own special treatment to nurse weak vocal cords.

Both the flu and COVID are respiratory illnesses, which can make them difficult to distinguish. If you're feeling sick, the only way you will be able to tell the difference is by getting tested for COVID-19.

Masks, distancing and handwashing adopted to deal with COVID-19 also knocked down the flu season, with just 144 positive tests in New Jersey as it winds down.

Two children have died from the flu so far this year in New Jersey, state officials said Tuesday.

There's been a lot of disinfecting at a public middle school in Mercer County, say officials, after upwards of 20-percent of students have been out sick.
