Beirut school campus closed over swine flu

Beirut - The middle school at a privately-run international school in Lebanon was closed on Tuesday, a week after 19 confirmed cases of the H1N1 virus, known also as swine flu. 'To date we have had 32 cases of this influenza in the Beirut Middle School, 13 of whom have already recovered and returned to school,' the US International College (IC) said in a statement. The middle school would remain closed until November 1, the IC said. On Monday, Lebanon confirmed its first swine-flu death - a 30- year-old pregnant woman who died on Saturday. The government has stopped issuing swine flu statistics but estimates in the summer put the number of reported cases at more than 1,000.
