May 3, 2009 at 5:56 pm by Wayne GarciaSwine, errrr, H1N1 flu worries will keep kids out of three public schools in Hillsborough County this week, after students reported symptoms that health officials believe are from the fast-spreading influenza.
From ABC Action News:
An 18-year-old male student at Freedom High School and an 11-year-old male student at Wilson Middle School are among the latest suspected cases of the H1N1 virus reported to the Florida Department on Health.
Both schools will be closed starting Monday, and will not reopen until next week. Liberty Middle School will also close, since it shares its cafeteria with Freedom High School, officials said.
Students are being asked to stay home and avoid public places like shopping malls or movie theaters.
None of the five Hillsborough victims of the flu have been hospitalized, and all are recovering.
