Public Health Update:
H1N1 Type A Flu (Swine Flu) |
|
|
In the past, the District has apprised the parent community of confirmed H1N1 cases. At this time, physicians are sending swab tests for H1N1 confirmation to the Illinois Department of Public Health only if the patient is hospitalized and are doing rapid tests in their offices. Rapid tests may result in a positive diagnosis of Type A influenza but do not confirm cases of H1N1. In some instances, physicians assume a positive swine flu diagnosis if a patient is positive for any Type A influenza and treat their patients accordingly.
We are again offering the following information related to influenza:
Frequently wash hands with soap and water; always before eating and after coughing and sneezing
Cover nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing
Strengthen one’s immune system by eating well balanced meals, getting plenty of sleep and exercise
Do not share food or drink with others
If experiencing flu like symptoms, stay home and avoid contact with others
We also encourage parents of medically fragile students, pre-school aged children or others in the household who have compromised immune systems, to consult with health care professionals before sending students to summer school or other summer recreation programs for which your child has been registered.
The Lake County Health Department has activated an H1N1 (swine) flu hotline for county residents to obtain more information on swine flu, including the signs and symptoms and how to remain healthy.
The hotline number is: (847) 377-8350. Information is provided in both English and Spanish.
Additional information is available from the Centers for Disease Control in English: http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/ or in Spanish: http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/espanol/ and from the Illinois Department of Public Health: http://www.idph.state.il.us/. |
