Connell and chief school nurse
Sally Millians strongly encourage parents to keep their children home
from school and contact a physician if their children exhibit flu-like
symptoms.
"If students are ill,
any work or exams they miss may be made up at a later date," said
Connell.
Millians and county school
nurses have also been stressing to children the importance of thorough
hand-washing and other habits to prevent the spread of influenza and other
respiratory diseases.
The health department and nurses
have posted information from Children's Health Care of Atlanta regarding
influenza and influenza shots for children. That and other information
can be found on the school system's website www.cowetaschools.org, or
