No, the health department will not release any information about H1N1 testing. The truth is that there may have been other cases of Novel H1N1 in the childcare and they were never tested or reported. The childcare should assume that Novel H1N1 is circulating in their facility and send a letter to parents indicating that influenza is circulating. Please have them take a look at our “Sample Letter” which outlines what parents should do.
