At the Minnesota State Fair Thursday, 120 4-H students were sent home after four of their members tested positive for the H1N1 flu virus.

The school year has begun in Minneapolis and a few other districts and will resume elsewhere in the state next week. And with that, public health workers are focusing on the possible re-emergence of the H1N1 novel strain of flu.
