The Department of Health has advised PLK Camoes Tan Siu Lin Primary School in Yau Ma Tei to suspend classes for a week due to a human swine flu outbreak affecting 103 students.

 

The 51 boys and 52 girls, aged six to 11, have developed influenza-like illness symptoms since September 3. No hospitalisation is required and all are stable.

 

Three students have tested positive for human swine flu.
