H1N1 shuts more schools

Schools in the national capital and across north India continue to shut down as swine flu targets students.

Delhi Public School on Mathura Road and Delhi Public School in Sushant Lok in Gurgaon have been recently shut down.

So far, five schools have suspended classes ever since swine flu cases were reported among students.  The prestigious Doon School also decided to suspend classes a week ago after five students were suspected of contracting swine flu on September 10.

Meanwhile, 11 swine flu deaths, including three in Karnataka and AP each, were reported on Wednesday, taking India’s total toll to 212.
