Flu Outbreak in Hong Kong
I didn’t read the papers for days but just now I caught a glimpse on the news about a flu outbreak in Hong Kong that killed 2 children.
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong children stayed home on Thursday after the government shut elementary schools for two weeks to contain a seasonal flu outbreak as experts probed the deaths of four children.
Two of the children were infected with seasonal flu while the causes of illness in the other two were not known. A fifth child, a 3-year-old boy, was in stable condition in hospital.
The elementary schools are shutting down for 2 weeks for precaution. No one knows that if SARS is back but are you worried as a parent? I just hope that the other 2 infected children will be doing fine soon.
