Staff offered swine flu medicine

Jun 30 2009

Children and staff at a nursery are being offered medication after coming into contact with a child with swine flu, it has been announced.

The decision was made as a further 44 people in Scotland were diagnosed with the H1N1 virus, bringing the total to 1,162 in just over two months.

Croft Park Nursery in Airdrie has not been closed but antiviral drugs are being offered to close contacts of the child, the Scottish Government said.
