(KBIA) -
The Callaway County Health Department has confirmed a New Bloomfield high school student has swine flu. Health Department administrator Sharon Lynch says the student is currently receiving treatment for the virus. "As far as I know, they are doing fine. I haven't heard anything different. They were treated by their physician. We don't have any additional information as of this time."
Lynch says the county's communicable disease nurse is in contact with the school regarding the case. New Bloomfield Superintendent Mike Parnell sent out a letter to parents regarding the case. According to the letter, the student attends summer school at the high school and must be clear of swine flue symptoms before they are able to return. The letter also says doctors are testing two other students for swine flu.
