If you are experiencing symptoms, please stay home until you are feeling better. Please see statement from the Rappahannock Area Health District below.
The Rappahannock Area Health District (RAHD) has been working with Stafford County Public Schools to investigate a potential disease outbreak at a high school after a large number of students called in sick and reported similar symptoms on Thursday, October 20 and Friday, October 21. Since that time, the school has reported that a number of students have tested positive for influenza A, and more are showing respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms consistent with the flu.
While this investigation is ongoing, in speaking with the school district it has been determined that the school can remain open with the following mitigation measures in place:
Extracurricular activities have been cancelled for the next several days
Practice frequent and thorough hand washing or hand sanitizing throughout the day
Please stay home if you are feeling sick, or if you have a household member who has a confirmed or suspected case of the flu
The coming months are likely to be a challenging flu season. If you have not already received your flu shot, we recommend receiving it as soon as possible. Flu shots are recommended for everyone over the age of 6 months, and they are widely available at pharmacies and doctor’s offices locally.
We are continuing to receive information from sick individuals to understand the extent of the outbreak. We will release the additional information once it is confirmed.
A press release, "State Health Officials Urge Virginians to Ready for Increase in Respiratory Illnesses through Vaccination and Practicing Preventive Health Habits" was released earlier today and is available at www.vdh.virginia.gov/news/2022-news-releases/. For more information on the flu, please visit www.vdh.virginia.gov/epidemiology/influenza-flu-in-virginia/.

Be careful while driving the back roads of Hartwood, Rock Hill, and Fauquier there's an annual Cycling event going on.
This event just demonstrates the need of more bike friendly infrastructure. If we had the trail infrastructure in place, we could promote many more events like this for worthy causes that will help bring tourism and tax revenue to Stafford while it helps our businesses to prosper.
I look forward to one day having that infrastructure in place. There are proposals for $10 B in Federal Greenway Trail Infrastructure spending that our region needs to prepare to tap into if it becomes available. The key to success it to be ready for opportunity when it comes.
