Swine influenza is expected to return when the children return from school, and the government hopes its new Council at the closure of schools during the outbreak to prevent panic and confusion, closing hundreds of schools, last spring.
The Government has approved new guidelines for schools on Friday next, when the pig flu strikes. Unlike seasonal influenza, the virus can not be removed with hot and humid in summer and has so far infected more than 1 million Americans.
"We should not close schools, but really, in some schools closed this fall," Arne Duncan, Minister of Education, said this week in a forum with government officials, the program online.
That decision, which in fact corresponds to a local school. Nevertheless, we expect that the officials of the federal government for advice on a new strain of influenza, as a result of the global epidemic or pandemic.
"I try in the first place as a father," Duncan said Friday at a news broadcast on the national level. "I want my children to continue learning, and they are safe." He said officials are asked parents to use common sense "and encourage their children to wash their hands vigorously several times a day, and other security measures.
"We want as many facts as they are for local authorities, he said. "In fact, this is a reaction to. With a small number of children in school, the sick, we want parents to their home. If the dramatic escalation of numbers, you may have to close the school."
Duncan said officials assume that the vaccine is from mid-October, and they want great schools for vaccines.
The administration wants to order the chaos of last spring, when more than 700 schools in half the states have closed their doors. There are approximately 132,000 public and private educational institutions in the United States
Students have an unexpected holiday, but many parents are trying to find children liquidation.
Schools are in detention centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that schools generally close for two weeks, when the suspicion of pig influenza.
Then, CDC reversed course, saying that the school should not close, because the virus is less than feared. Instead, he said they were from parents of sick children at home, at least for a week.
Duncan said at the summit of pig influenza last month that closing schools should be "a last resort, rather than in the first place."
He said this week that the schools should be common sense. "If you have a sick child is one. If you have a large number of children, the sick, which is another," said Duncan.
Although this is a new influenza virus, the issue of closing schools is not. Every winter, flu outbreaks quickly regulate a relatively small number of schools in order for several days because of high absenteeism among students and staff.
In addition to the new direction for the termination, CDC and the Ministry of Education, this week is a new control system to close schools throughout the country.
But in the air, whether the school will be a vaccine clinics, though Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said it makes sense. "We see the school as a potential partner," he said at the Forum with Duncan.
Children are on the list of priorities for the first dose of vaccine against pig flu, but because of lack of time required for testing and manufacturing of vaccines can not begin until the school was in session more than a month, the government targets in the 15 th October. Many questions remain, even if people need a shot or two for protection. In addition to the winter flu vaccine is also recommended for children.
States and schools should be able to mass vaccination, federal officials said.
You should also plans to educate children in schools located in the area, Duncan said.
