Closed two schools in the Bronx
NEW YORK - The fear of the spread of influenza A virus rose to 23 the number of schools closed in New York, including two in El Bronx.
Charter schools in the South Bronx and Mott Haven Horace Mann in Riverdale yesterday decided to return to classes the next May 26 as a preventive measure.
An official of the Horace Mann School who preferred anonymity, said that yesterday morning the school sent an email to parents and students informing them of the closure due to an unusually high number of absent students, most of the which related to symptoms of flu, including several cases of influenza A, but not the H1N1 virus (Swine Flu).
The mail was sent by Thomas Kelly, director of the school, located at 231 West 246 Street.
The letter added: "In consultation with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, New York City we decided to temporarily close the school our best interest, and reopen on Tuesday, 26."
Respect to other counties, Queens is the most affected with the closure of 18 schools, followed by Manhattan and two in Brooklyn.
