Info on the Swine Flu

So far, 190 isn't closed. They have been calling homes of students lately reminding them about how you should stay home if you have symptoms.

These symptoms include:
- headache
- tiredness
- chills
- aching muscles
- limb or joint pain
- diarrhoea or upset stomach
- sore throat
- runny nose
- sneezing
- loss of appetite

If you have had any of these symptoms, please stay home and call the school. IF the school does not reply, call the DOE. Chances are, the more people who call in, the more chances the school will close.

So far, I know that a bunch of students from 822, some from 802, and more students throughout the school are getting these symptoms. I've been following this issue since Friday and I feel that more information should be posted about this.

Reminders:
Hand sanitizer cannot fully kill all the germs. It's not bad to use it, I still advise you use it, but washing your hands will be more helpful. Please cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze. DO NOT share any food/beverages with others, sick or not sick.
