ANOTHER Hampshire school has had its first confirmed case of swine flu.
Kings’ School in Winchester said one of its female pupils was told by her doctor that she had the influenza A type H1N1 virus.
Deputy head Geoff Lucas said that the school was remaining open and there were no other suspected cases of the condition either among teachers or students.
He added the girl with swine flu had been at school prior to being taken ill and that she will now be off for at least five days.
He said: “Parents should follow the basic hygiene which the Health Protection Agency advises, monitor the child and if they show symptoms, to keep them off school.”
