HENRY COUNTY, Ga. -- A possible case of swine closed a private school in Henry County on Monday until further notice.
An announcement on the Web site of the Eagle's Landing Christian Academy said the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Henry County Health Department notified school officials that a middle school student may have a case of swine flu.
"This is a single suspected case that is not confirmed and is not cause for alarm," said Tim Dowdy, president of the school in the posting on the Web site.
Dowdy said the school is closed as the request of state officials "as a preventative measure."
He said the school will undergo a "deep-cleaning."
