    Special school to suspend classes

    The Department of Health today advised special school Po Leung Kuk Law's Foundation School to suspend classes for seven days from tomorrow to stop the possible spread of human swine flu.

     

    Eight students aged 7 to 16, and three staff members have developed flu-like symptoms since September 29. Two are male, nine are female, and five have tested positive for human swine flu.

     

    Three were hospitalised, and two have already been discharged. The third, a 14-year-old girl, was admitted to Tuen Mun Hospital in critical condition. She is among those who tested positive for the disease.
