Swine Flu
- Published: 09 January 2011
The Swine Flu is once again widespread in Ireland. Children are susceptible to this virus, and schools can be sites of further spread. With this knowledge to hand, it is appropriate for schools to be as prepared as it is possible to be in a constantly evolving and fluid situation. The IPPN Resource Bundle (also available through Principal Advice - Parents & Pupils - Swine Flu) provides guidance for the re-opening of schools to minimise the impact of Swine Flu on the school community.
The following are additional information items provided directly by the DES and HSE.
