JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - As of March, the Mississippi State Department of Health has yet to record a single lab-reported flu case this year.
And a UMMC professor says the steps people in the Magnolia state have taken to prevent COVID-19 could be playing a huge factor in that.
âUsually, the flu season peaks in Mississippi in January and February,â said Dr. Bhagyashri Navalkele, assistant professor of medicine and medical director of infection prevention and control at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. âWe have not seen that large number of cases, compared to the previous two seasons.â
