Flu activity is dropping across Kansas.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported Friday
in its weekly H1N1 report that fewer Kansas schools are seeing high
absenteeism rates.

At the elementary level, the percentage of schools reporting
absenteeism rates of 10 percent or more fell to 15 percent from 33
percent.

The agency also said that the number of people going to the
doctor to be treated for flu symptoms is down.

So far, 17 people from Kansas have died from swine flu.
