Three of four students with swine flu have recovered
Three of the four students at King’s-Edgehill School, Windsor, Nova Scotia, with confirmed cases of swine flu have now recovered and are out of quarantine.
Joe Seagram, headmaster of King’s Edgehill private school in Windsor, provided the update Monday, a day after the four cases were confirmed.
Seagram said some parents were keeping their children home and attendance was lower than normal, though he didn’t give any numbers.

Seagram said three of the students who had the virus no longer have symptoms. They, and a number of others who had flu symptoms, have been cleared to return to class.
One of the four students went to Mexico on a school trip earlier this month.
When the students first became ill, no one suspected swine flu initially because the school trip was to a part of Mexico unaffected by the disease and they became sick after the incubation period was supposedly over. Medical tests were needed to confirm that it was indeed swine flu.
Hi Scott,
The part of Mexico believed to be unaffected by the disease, the Yucatan Peninsula, has been the point of contact for the outbreaks not only in Nova Scotia, but also New York and Sacramento, California.
That is odd, isn’t it.
Are there any more csaes of swine flu in Wolfville? or elsewhere?
