Dear Students:

This letter will give you information about swine flu in Contra Costa County. Some cases of swine flu have been identified in children at Highlands Elementary, an elementary school in Pittsburg, CA. These children have been mild to moderately ill. The school will be closed until May 7th as a precaution. We hope they will all get better quickly.

At this time, the county health department tells us that students who are not ill can safely come to school. The schools will remain open. We will keep you updated with any important information.

To keep the flu from spreading to more people, we ask you to stay home if you are sick. Any student who is sick in class will be sent home.

Public health officials want you to protect yourself and your family against swine flu. Here are some ways to stop the spread of germs and sickness:

• Stay home if you are sick at home. Don’t come to class and contact your health care provider.
• Wash your hands a lot with soap and water for 20 seconds.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with tissues or by coughing into the inside of the elbow.
• Stay at least six feet away from people who are sick.

People who are sick should stay home from work or school and stay away from other people until they are better, and contact their health care provider

If you have questions, please contact your healthcare provider. You can get more information from Contra Costa Health Services: Visit online at http://cchealth.org or call the Health Emergency Information Line: 1 888-959-9911.

Sincerely,

Sally Savage
