Provincial officials advising students who feel ill this fall to stay away from the community college. Spokesperson with the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour, Dan Fraser, says they will do what they can to ensure students with the H1N1 flu don’t fall behind while they are home sick. He also says they will be taking some extra precautions at the colleges to try to prevent the spread of the swine flu:
Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr.Eilish Cleary says there is not a huge difference in the symptoms between the swine flue and regular seasonal flu. So she says those with any flu symptoms should isolate themselves from the public until they feel better.
