Authorities of the Merton International School say the Nursery Division is not affected by the closure of the school following the detection of swine flu.

Officials say the unit is open and classes have not been disrupted. The Primary and High School divisions located at Ridge here in Accra however remain shut after five children were found to have contracted the H1N1 strain of the swine flu virus.

Parents with wards at the school were handed letters last Friday communicating the shutdown.

The closure of Merton follows the temporary closure of Lincoln International School at Dzorwulu following the detection of H1N1 infections.

Experts say the latest case is an indication the virus is still prevalent even though it appears very little is heard of it in recent times. Health officials however tell Joy News the situation is being carefully managed.
