The rate of students contracting the influenza virus has reached an all-time high, health authorities said Tuesday. The Education Ministry is instructing schools to consider starting winter vacation earlier than scheduled in an effort to stop the spread of the contagious virus, which is not deadly.

The number of flu patients at elementary, middle and high schools per 1,000 students was 152.2 from Dec. 11 to Saturday, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is the highest since the KCDC began its influenza monitoring system in 1997.(Yonhap)
