Focus on the flu: East Texas school combating virus

Nearly two years ago a local child died from influenza complications.  Today an east Texas school district continues safety precautions.

NBC Six News visited Elysian Fields Elementary School.  The school's nurse says they haven't seen an increase in flu cases.

Custodians frequently use district-provided hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes and disinfectant spray.  Christie Vickers says the best thing is for students to stay home if they're sick.

Students aren't allowed back on campus until they've been symptom free for at least 24 hours.
