The Ohio Department of Health says the number of flu-related hospitalizations continues to fall after what's been an unusually bad influenza season. 213 people were hospitalized in the week from January 25 through the 3, down by 400 from a week earlier. It's the third consecutive weekly period the agency has reported a decline.
