Polk parents receive swine flu letter

CEDARTOWN — Letters regarding the swine flu went home Wednesday to Polk County parents.

Buddy Harrison, Polk County School System

director of student services, said the letters originated with the state and offer guidelines and recommendations to prevent the swine flu.

No cases have been reported in Georgia. One death, that of a toddler boy in Texas, has been linked to the infection.

Harrison said the letters are purely precautionary.

Harrison said prevention guidelines are “common sense” things like washing hands regularly, covering your mouth when you cough and regularly disinfecting objects used by multiple people such as telephones and computer keyboards.
