SAN DIEGO – San Diego County health officials were investigating an outbreak of respiratory and flu-like symptoms reported among a large number of students at Patrick Henry High School, it was announced today.
“We are coordinating with local school districts and are checking with other school campuses to try and figure out why so many students have been affected so suddenly,” said Dr. Cameron Kaiser, county deputy public health officer. “Unfortunately, we anticipated this would be a rough influenza season, and alongside COVID-19, other respiratory viruses are also making a rapid comeback.
The county reports that no hospitalizations have yet been linked to the illness investigation at the school, but local hospitals, including Rady Children’s Hospital, have noted a recent increase in emergency room visits due to flu and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. The county is evaluating the possibility of other schools reporting similar outbreaks.
