800 students studying in the school of design, Montalb?n, yesterday attended classes just 30. At the time of departure, instead of the characteristic screams of the end of the day, empty hallways and classrooms were empty.
The general absence was the result of confirmation by the Ministry of Health, one of the teachers had tested positive to H1N1 virus.
"Their parents decided not to bring children to school and are within their rights," said the deputy director of the campus, Ana Adelaida Perez. However, he attended workers carry out their duties as documented on the measures to be taken.
In fact, yesterday held a meeting with all faculty and staff to assess the situation. In addition, preschool teachers and classrooms disinfected toys for children. "We have not suspended activities," he said P?rez.
A statement released by the parents and representatives of the Conception should not take classes to children with flu symptoms and vaccinate all the students who had contact with the dance teacher and her students. On this issue, Perez said they had received approval from the Sanitary District No. 3, located in San Martin, who assured them the vaccine dose for all students on that campus who have current card for today from the 7:00 am.
Regarding the health status of the teacher, the deputy said he is improving. The other three children who developed symptoms, which have not been confirmed by the Ministry of Health as positive, are also good and never again to return to school within 10 days, on medical advice.
The school officials said there would be no penalty for absence.
Queues for health. Three blocks from the campus, people over 60 years of age in a long queue waiting to be vaccinated in the clinic Urban Type I de Montalb?n.
Francisco Hernandez, 76 years old, arrived at 8:00 am and was number 47 of the 50 who delivered yesterday at the medical center. "We've had enough competition. We do not cover the claim that since last Monday over 100 people daily," said clinic coordinator, Antonio Licon. On the wall was a poster reported: No flu shot.
"At seven o'clock here had a queue of more than 300 people. I brought my 89 year old grandmother and my mom 67. I do not put it because I enter the vulnerable group," said Orledis Galavys who came to the clinic yesterday. "We came because we played them, but also for all that is happening."
The Health Minister Eugenia Sader, updated the numbers of people sick with influenza H1N1. On Wednesday it reported 124. Yesterday, the number rose to 179 across the country. The official declined to specify the location by state, but warned that there is a significant amount of suspected cases in Caracas.
"If positive, will receive treatment and in six hours did not have anything," said Sadr, who said that more cases were found outside Merida, the center of the epidemic outbreak. I assert that no new deaths.
