SCHOOL SYSTEMS HANDLE THE H1N1 VIRUS
NEW RECOMMENDATIONS ARE OUT FOR HOW SCHOOL SYSTEMS SHOULD HANDLE THE H1N1 VIRUS. HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE HOPING TO CAUSE AS FEW DISRUPTIONS AS POSSIBLE FOR SCHOOLS AND FAMILIES. UNLIKE LAST SPRING, WHERE THE CDC RECOMMENDED STUDENTS STAY HOME FOR A WEEK IF THEY CAME DOWN WITH THE H1N1 VIRUS, THEY'RE NOW RECOMMENDING KIDS STAY HOME UNTIL 24 HOURS AFTER THE FEVER IS GONE. AND INSTEAD OF URGING SCHOOLS TO CLOSE DOWN IF A FEW STUDENTS GET THE VIRUS, THEY'RE NOW RECOMMENDING SCHOOLS CLOSE ONLY IF A HIGH NUMBER OF STUDENTS COME DOWN WITH IT.
