Two more Kentucky schools are dealing with students, sick with the H1N1 virus.
Letters went home to parents at Brookside Elementary School in Nicholasville, to alert them to the sick student there. The Deputy Superintendent, Owens Saylor, tells 27 NEWSFIRST Jessamine County Schools had plans in place to deal with possible H1N1 cases. He says administrators at Brookside followed those guidelines and immediately cleaned the school after they were told of the confirmed case.
The Corbin Times Tribune is also reporting letters were sent home to parents at South Laurel Middle School after a confirmed case of the swine flu there as well. That students are reportedly already recovered from the sickness.
Students in both counties are being told to follow good hygiene guidelines and make sure they wash their hands repeatedly, and cover all coughs and sneezes.
There have also been recent cases of the H1N1 virus in Letcher, Bourbon, Wayne and Boyle counties.
