Swine flu - novel H1N1 cases in New York State as of May 19, 2009. Click on image for larger map.
There are 273 cases of novel H1N1 or swine flu recorded in New York State at this time. 192 of them are in New York City and 81 outside the city. The city and its New York suburban counties have a total of 253 cases. Fairfield County, Connecticut, which is the nearest county to New York City, has 42 additional cases, 71% of Connecticut’s total case count.
19 schools have been or are about to be closed by the New York City Health Department. They are:
15 schools in Queens (I.S. 238, P.S. 16, Q255, I.S. 5, JHS 74, P.S. 107, M.S. 158, Our Lady of Lourdes, I.S. 25, World Journalism Preparatory, Q233, P.S. 209, P9, P.S. 19 and P.S. 32) and one in Brooklyn (I.S. 318)
Health Commissioner Thomas R. Frieden and Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein today announced that the City Health Department has recommended closing three more schools – two in Queens and one in Lower Manhattan, for up to five school days after documenting unusually high and sustained number of influenza-like illness over a number of days. The three schools will be closed beginning Wednesday, May 20th.
The three schools are:
- P.S. 130 (Fernando De Soto, 1,081 students), in Lower Manhattan. A total of 76 students were documented with influenza-like illness during the last six school days.
- P.S. 35 (Nathaniel Woodhull, 615 students), in Hollis. A total of 32 students were documented with influenza-like illness during the last seven school days.
- Merrick Academy Charter School (495 students), in Jamaica. A total of 19 students were documented with influenza-like illness during the last two school days.
Note that the closings are due to influenza-like illness (ILI), not directly to novel H1N1. Recent data from the CDC suggests that some 88% of ILI’s are not influenza of any type. Seasonal influenza is also still in play, and the CDC data suggest that over 8% of the ILI cases will be seasonal flu. Novel H1N1 is NOT the prevalent illness in most instances.
