Flu-related hospitalizations declined for a third straight week in Minnesota, increasing hope that this year's influenza season is just early - rather than historically bad.
The decline, along with little-changed COVID-19 levels in Minnesota, offered temporary relief to hospitals with limited bed space and overcrowded emergency departments, according to Thursday's state pandemic and influenza reports.
