Three members of the Kenmore State High school community have been confirmed as having H1N1 Influenza A (Human Swine Influenza).

In accordance with Section 181 of the Public Health Act 2005, our school has been ordered to close and at this stage will reopen on Monday 22 June 2009. This date may be extended if, in the meantime another case of H1N1 Influenza A (Human Swine Influenza) is confirmed at our school. This decision has been made as a method of controlling the outbreak of H1N1 Influenza A (Human Swine Influenza) in the community.

Any immediately affected people will be provided with antiviral medication and medical advice and will be advised to stay in home isolation.

The remainder of the school community does not require any medication at the moment. However, as a precaution, identified members of the school community have been asked to remain in isolation while the school is closed.
