	H1N1 Influenza Information
	World Health Organization Reports H1N1 in Post-Pandemic Period August 10, 2010 The world is no longer in phase 6 of influenza pandemic alert. We are now moving into the post-pandemic period. The new H1N1 virus has largely run its course. These are the views of members of the World Health Organization's Emergency Committee, which was convened by teleconference. The Committee based its assessment on the global situation, as well as reports from several countries that are now experiencing influenza. As we enter the post-pandemic period, this does not mean that the H1N1 virus has gone away. Based on experience with past pandemics, we expect the H1N1 virus to take on the behaviour of a seasonal influenza virus and continue to circulate for some years to come. The Edmonton Catholic School District's Pandemic Plan As a school district, we will continue to teach children how to wash their hands properly and encourage frequent hand washing in all of our schools. Parents play an important part in keeping their child healthy. Parents are encouraged to ensure your child is well rested, follows the hand washing and cover your cough procedures.
