School vacation extended for another week because of A(H1N1) fears

The school vacation that was supposed to end on November 8 has been extended by another week because of A(H1N1) infection fears.

Authorities have also asked parents with small children to refrain from taking them to kindergarten.

Over 40 people have been diagnosed with A(H1N1) thus far. Two of them have died as a result of complications.

Today, the Computer Science College's Dormitory Nr. 2 was quaratined after a 16-year-old female resident was diagnosed with the swine flu virus. JurnalTV has shown footage of many students in this college wearing anti-flu masks.

Most residents also left the Free International University of Moldova's dormitories after an A(H1N1) suspicion.

The Moldovan health care system has a lot of infrastructure and staff problems. It is unclear how it could handle a potential mass A(H1N1) outbreak.
