Health Advisory: Seasonal Influenza Spike

The St. Louis Department of Health continues to monitor a significant increase in influenza activity throughout the city. Current data indicates that Influenza A remains the dominant strain, with a notable spike in cases among adults aged 25 to 49. Health officials urge residents to remain vigilant, especially when gathering in indoor spaces. The Department recommends that all eligible individuals who have not yet received their annual flu vaccine do so immediately to help curb the spread and protect high-risk populations, including seniors and those with chronic medical conditions.

Municipal Services: Yard Waste Collection Reminder

The City of St. Louis Refuse Division reminds residents that yard waste collection remains suspended for the winter season. Regular roll-cart yard waste pickup is scheduled to resume the first full week of March. During this hiatus, residents are asked to refrain from placing yard debris in green or blue carts. General household trash and recycling schedules remain unaffected unless specifically noted due to weather conditions.
