Respiratory Virus May Be In Central Ohio

Central Ohio doctors are waiting on test results from the Centers for Disease Control to find out if a respiratory virus is in the community. More  children are coming into emergency rooms with asthma-like symptoms, raising concerns that Enterovirus D68 is making a comeback.  The disease causes breathing problems as well as symptoms similar to the common cold.
