INFLUENZA

Two weeks ago we were advised by Nelson/Marlborough District Health Board that students who attended Southern Jam in Blenheim may have been exposed to ‘influenza’. A number of those students have fallen ill and we can now confirm that at least one of these students has contracted H1N1 influenza (Swine Flu). We are working closely with the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board and the Ministry of Education who are providing advice and guidance for us.

The key messages are that influenza is highly infectious and easily passed to other people through coughing and sneezing. It may take up to four days to feel symptoms after a person catches influenza. Influenza can range from mild to severe illness.

Flu symptoms include a high fever and cough or sore throat. Other symptoms may include: headache, muscle aches and pains, tiredness, diarrhoea and vomiting.

People with flu symptoms should contact your GP as antiviral medicines may help but need to be started early. Early medical advice is especially important for those with underlying medical conditions such as asthma and diabetes.

PEOPLE WITH FLU SYMPTOMS MUST STAY HOME UNTIL ESSENTIALLY WELL.

If you or your family are ill and you are concerned, or if a person’s condition worsens, get health advice by calling your GP or Nelson Marlborough’s 0800 FLU INFO or Health line on 0800 611 116.Do not take sick people directly to hospital without phoning one of the above first.

Stop the spread of flu germs by covering coughs and sneezes, regularly wash hands and dry them thoroughly, use hand sanitiser provided throughout the school, avoid close contact with sick people.

We ask that you support us by following these instructions and keeping students at home if they are unwell. If more information comes to hand we will update our website and send further messages home.
