Swine Flu- Update


Yes, there has been a confirmed case of H1N1 ("swine") flu in a student at Camino School. The school has decided to close for a week to diminish the chances for spread within our community. The virus is known to be contagious for 7 days after the onset of illness.

The good news is that the virus shows none of the markers for severe disease, and is not resulting in illness any more severe than a usual seasonal flu!
