Provincial officials aren't expecting any school closures this fall at the Community Colleges because of the H1N1 virus. But Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr.Eilish Cleary is advising students who feel ill to stay at home. Spokesperson with the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour, Dan Fraser, says they will do what they can to ensure students with the flu are able to complete their programs.
Fraser says there is no set percentage of students who would have to be sick before a class would shut down. He says that would depend on each particular course and whether there is a shortage of staff at the community college.
