Does the provincial government recommend closing schools or other gathering places to limit the spread of the virus?
The government has ruled out school closures. Parents and CSF staff are asked to remain vigilant and to follow instructions from the Ministry of Public Health. In only outstanding circumstances will the province consider closing one or many schools. In Canada, decisions about school closures are made by local authorities and under certain circumstances, this may be advisable. Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) recommends that people who are sick stay at home to reduce the risk of spreading infection. If this influenza virus spreads, people may want to avoid crowds to decrease the chance of exposure. Is human swine influenza contagious? How does it spread between people? Yes, this virus is contagious. Since some of the people who have become ill have not been in direct contact with pigs, we know that the virus has spread from person to person. More investigation is needed on how easily the virus spreads between people, but it is believed that it is spread the same way as regular seas
