What happens if someone at school gets 2009 Swine Flu?

Answer 1

Each school system set up their own rules and precautions regarding the Swine Flu during the pandemic. Some required that students with any flu-like illness symptoms stay home until they were symptom free. Some schools had so many illnesses that they had to close their doors to prevent spread to everyone in the community. Some isolated students in classrooms in separate areas if they had been exposed to the flu even if they didn't have symptoms. Most schools developed and distributed policies for parents to know when students should stay home and when they could return to school. Some had screening of students as they came to school and sent home any students with symptoms that could have been from influenza. Classes and training were given to students, parents, teachers, school staff and administrators on prevention techniques and proper hand washing, sneeze and cough etiquette.
