FLETCHER, N.C. -- The flu outbreak appears to still be affecting the mountains.
Area hospitals and clinics say they continue to see a surge of flu-like symptoms.
The Pardee Urgent Care in Fletcher has seen its number of patients double in the past week. The clinic staff says unfortunately, the flu season has arrived just in time for Christmas.
"We're at record numbers and it seems to be a very, very prodigious flu season," physician's assistant Lou Fillman said.
Fillman says the Fletcher Pardee Urgent Care will be open Christmas Eve but closed on Christmas. Its Hendersonville location, however, will be open Christmas Day.
