No unusual absenteeism reported as of:
When a report of unusual absenteeism is received, the school contacts public health for expert advice and direction. Public health will tell the school if any changes need to be made to reduce the spread of infection, and the school will inform parents of these recommended changes. It is important to note that absenteeism reports may not be because of the flu. Absenteeism may be related to other medical or non-medical reasons. For more information on how to reduce your risk of H1N1 flu, visit

right. Hand washing is the most effective way of reducing the transmission
of disease". The Canadian Journal of Infection Control, Spring 1999
