Rockville High School in Montgomery County, Maryland has been closed effective immediately after a student was diagnosed with a probable case of H1N1 Swine Flu. The case would be the ninth suspected one in Maryland, the second among a Montgomery County resident.
The student in question reportedly attended school only one day this week but that was obviously enough to prompt the closing. Further details about the situation will be disclosed at a 10:30 a.m. EDT press conference in Rockville.
Two confirmed swine flu cases were also reported overnight in Virginia though neither situation was in the immediate Washington, D.C. area itself. No cases have been reported among actual District of Columbia residents.
