Vajiravudh College shuttered for seven days after flu outbreak
Classes were suspended at Vajiravudh College for a third day on Wednesday following an outbreak of influenza A (H1N1 2009) virus that infected more than 30 students.
The last of the students still staying at the private all-boys boarding school in Bangkok’s Dusit district were taken home early Tuesday afternoon.
Deputy director Piyachanok Limpabhand said no classes had been held since Monday and the school would be closed for seven days in all.
He said most of the infected students were in Grades 4 through 7 and Grade 11.
Piyachanok said the school and dormitory had been thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with disinfectant.
