He stressed the importance of collaboration exists in this winter season between local, federal and educational community itself, as it did during last April which saw the outbreak of influenza A virus H1N1 in the country.

More rigorous filters

Carrillo Huerta said the City government is fully prepared for a possible outbreak of influenza that could ever occur in basic education campuses.

He said the virtual filter, which start at home and move to the school, will be kept constantly in educational, which means that if your home from your child has symptoms, you will immediately move to the health center closer.

"We have a filter in all schools that principals and teachers have developed jointly with parents, so that detection is very important because one weapon against this virus is prevention," said an official of the SEDF.

To mitigate its effects, the general population, but especially parents, teachers and school authorities must be informed sobe ways to prevent infection and, if filing a case, knowing what to do.
