Four illnesses are filling Minnesota hospitals, and health leaders are warning you that Minnesota is dealing with a "quad-demic." This year, Minnesota has already reached more than 700 hospitalized influenza cases.

Influenza A, COVID-19 and norovirus (stomach flu) are on the rise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But there's a fourth "bug" the public should be aware of: respiratory syncytial virus. RSV causes cold-like symptoms and affects the breathing passages and lungs.
