New Zealand : School closes for day over swine flu

Via NZ Herald :

" Christchurch primary school closed its doors today after a student was diagnosed with swine flu.

Emmanuel Christian School principal Jill Garrett said one of the girl's parents called yesterday evening with the news - she had been absent since Friday.

The Bishopdale school gave students a day off, deciding it would close as a precautionary measure.

Ms Garrett said cleaners were disinfecting all surfaces its 137 students would touch such as the tables, chairs, and computers.

The school would re-open tomorrow.

Ms Garrett asked parents not send children to school who were experiencing flu symptoms."
