County Schools Prepare For H1N1 Outbreak

Yesterday, Anne Arundel County Schools sent home a letter outlining the collaboration between the schools and the County, State and Federal authorities as it relates to the spread of the H1N1 virus (Swine Flu).

Among the initiatives, schools will keep strict track of students seen in health rooms and dismissed early with flu-like symptoms. The letter noted that school health practitioners would not be diagnosing either the seasonal flu or the H1N1 virus; but merely tracking the instances of symptoms associated with each–which are very similar.
