Tests on family of swine flu man Swine flu scare school will close
(about 2 hours later)
Tests are continuing on the family and contacts of a swine flu victim who is seriously ill in hospital. A Glasgow primary school at the centre of a swine flu alert will close on Friday for a week, Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon has announced.
The 37-year-old man is in intensive care at Glasgow's Victoria Infirmary, after being confirmed as Scotland's 14th case of the virus. She stressed the move, at the city's Annette Street Primary, had been taken as a precautionary measure.
He is being treated for a respiratory infection and other undisclosed prior health problems. Currently, two pupils who attended the school are suspected to have the virus.
The man's wife and three children are also being treated as probable cases of influenza A (H1N1). One of them is the child of the 37-year-old man in intensive care at Glasgow's Victoria Infirmary - the 14th case of the virus.
He was admitted to the Victoria Infirmary a week ago and is also suffering from "significant" underlying health problems.
Risk assessment
There has been no evidence he had contact with any known cases of swine flu and he has no history of recent travel.
A risk assessment has been carried out and the schools attended by the family's children are to remain open for now.
These are Shawlands Academy and Annette Street Primary in Glasgow.
Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said: "Robust risk assessments have been undertaken with regard to both schools involved and the decision has been taken that the schools will remain open.
"However, the situation is being kept under close review."
More than 13,000 people around the world have been diagnosed with the virus. There have been 95 confirmed deaths, all in North, Central or South America.
