The matter again will be assessed on Wednesday, read a press release issued yesterday.

On September 6, it was reported that some three students were confirmed to have been infected with the virus, better known as swine flu. Well-placed sources told The Gleaner that a total of 60 students were showing flu-like symptoms.

The UWI said yesterday that during a meeting last week with members of a monitoring committee formed to assess the situation, it was confirmed that most of the affected persons presented mild flu-like symptoms, with the majority having a full recovery within 36 hours.

The UWI, however, reiterated that neither suspension of classes nor closure of the institution was warranted at this time.
