The Department of Health is reporting a reduction in the number of H-1-N-1 flu cases in the province and don’t expect there to be any delays in schools starting up this September. But Chief medical officer of health, Dr. Eilish Cleary, says the so called “swine flu” will pick back up again from late October to April. Valmond Guimond, with the Department of Education’s pandemic planning committee, says that may impact school staffing.
Guimond says each school will be provided with an information packet on the H1N1 virus and it will be up to superintendents and principals to decide how they will deal with the pandemic.
