People should not assume that if a school is not on the list, it does not have influenza circulating; a school not currently on the list could still have an increased level of absenteeism due to influenza-like illness.

This list should not be used as a decision-making tool to determine if children should go to school or engage with other children from that school. Influenza is widespread in Minnesota, and people should assume it is or could be in their school or community and take appropriate protection measures.
