Swine flu concerns close schools in Mexican city


(AP) -- Officials have closed 1,400 schools in the city of Culiacan in northern Mexico after a suspected rise in swine flu cases.
The education secretary of Sinaloa state, where Culiacan is located, says 19 students have been tested for swine flu after showing symptoms. Officials are still awaiting the results.
Education Secretary Florentino Castro says officials detected 50 students with respiratory problems at 80 schools.
The decision to cancel all primary, secondary and university classes in Culiacan was implemented Friday. Officials will decide whether to resume instruction Sept. 17, after Mexico's Independence Day holiday.
An outbreak in April prompted a nationwide shutdown of schools and nonessential businesses.:tiphat:http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/storie...ME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2009-09-11-17-40-57

Re: Mexic closes 1400 schools due to swine flu concern

5 day shut down of schools to be followed by

Mexician Independence day on September 16.

This event has since assumed an almost mythic status.... Each year on the night of September 15,the President of Mexico re-enacts the event by ringing the bells of the National Palace in Mexico City. He repeats a cry of patriotism based upon the "Grito de Dolores" from the balcony of the palace to the assembled crowd in the Plaza de la Constituci?n, or Z?calo, one of the largest public plazas in the world. This event draws up to half a million spectators. On the dawn of September 16, or Independence Day, the national military parade starts in the Z?calo, passes the Hidalgo Memorial and ends on the Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City?s main boulevard.
A similar celebration, albeit on a smaller scale, occurs in cities and towns all over Mexico. The mayor (or governor, in the case of state capitals), rings a bell and gives the traditional words.
