(Minneapolis, MN) — Minnesota schools are struggling to keep their classrooms staffed as respiratory sicknesses are surging statewide.

The Minnesota Department of Health says flu-like outbreaks more than double last week compared to the week before.

The outbreak is effecting staff and students alike.

The Hinckley-Finlayson School District held all classes virtually last week after more than 20-percent of its students and staff were sick.
