'If flu spreads schools will be closed down'
Bilthoven - If the Mexican flu in the Netherlands infects dozens of
people a day, schools will most likely be closed right away.
this said Jim van Steenbergen of the National Health and Environment
(RIVM) on Tuesday. According to Steenbergen particularly children
and young people are vulnerable to the flu virus.
Children have much physical contact and the virus spreads quickly in
this way, he says. Adults work in offices, keep more distance from
each other and infections will spread more slowly , it is expected.
