Influenza A (H1N1) updates

Hi Midcity Parents!

With the increase of Influenza A (H1N1) (also known as Swine Flu) in New Zealand, and the closure of some childcare centres in Auckland and Christchurch, we have created this page for several reasons:

* You are able to update your emergency contact details on this page.
* We will be providing some tips for how to keep yourself and your families healthy this flu season.
* There is a link to our 'Child Health' policy.
* In case of a centre closure, this page will keep parents up-to-date.

Status - We are OPEN!!!

On the 24th of June, the Waikato District Health Board sent a letter to all Hamilton eary chidhood centres recommending that all children and staff with flu-like symptoms be sent home until they have been symptom-free for 24 hours. This includes symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, headaches, and fatigue.
