Update: 3:30 pm

I've just received an e-mail requiring me to present myself to disinfect the school I work in. This will be done under supervision of The Health Department and The Board of Education.

After staying more than a week in isolation, my daughter went back to school today, at last, with all her final exams and scholarship applications this health crisis had other preoccupations implied, economy was and still is a major one, businesses closed, low sales, wedding and quinceañera receptions being canceled.

A special place in our hearts for the lives that were lost.Worry and concerned took hold of the hearts of people.

Baja California Sur has stayed influenza free, but the isolation had to be done by government disposition. Economy has been seriously affected.

High School and University students returned to classes this Thursday, elementary school and Junior High School will do so on Monday. That means two weeks without work for me, believe me, it is not enjoyable rest under these circumstances. It's good to see this measure helped the virus from spreading more.

Este jueves correspondió a los estudiantes del nivel superior y medio superior regresar a sus distintos planteles escolares, mientras el resto de los alumnos de los niveles inferiores, es decir primarias y secundarias, lo harán el lunes próximo.

Authorities informed two students were rejected and kept from entering school for presenting syntoms of influenza, their parents were notified and the students will not be allowed in school until they present a medical health certificate.

Las autoridades informaron que dos jóvenes fueron rechazados en un colegio secundario de Ciudad de México pues mostraron síntomas de gripe porcina. Sus padres fueron notificados, dijeron las autoridades, y no podrán reincorporarse a clases sin un certificado médico señalando que no han contraído el virus de la gripe porcina.
