CDC to upgrade system for tracking H1N1-triggered school closings
The CDC plans to improve its monitoring system to facilitate the collection of summary data on school closures caused by the H1N1 flu virus in real time and better track the spread of the virus. The agency said it "will use the summary data to fully understand how schools are responding to CDC community guidance among schools, students, household contacts and for overall awareness of the impact of influenza outbreaks on school systems and communities."
