H1N1 Flu Reported in Crittenden Schools

Crittenden County Schools have reported their first cases of the H1N1 flu, also called the Pandemic flu or Swine flu.

Dr. Rachel Yarbrough, school superintendent, confirmed the cases late Tuesday afternoon. One male and one female student were treated and cured and are now back in school, Yarbrough said.

The cases were at the middle school and high school.

Yarbrough said a letter was sent home with students this week, detailing flu prevention methods.
