Cleanliness key to slowing swine flu
"OLEAN - Local school districts are looking at every measure possible to hold the H1N1 virus at bay. In the Olean district, even the spork will be deployed to fight swine flu.
“Swine flu has all of us thinking about how important it is to maintain a clean environment,” Olean Superintendent Dr. Colleen Taggerty said.
Cafeterias throughout the district will change the way eating utensils are distributed to minimize the chance of an outbreak.
“Sodexo, our cafeteria-management company, is looking into moving from plastic-ware dispensers, to sporks - spoon and fork in one - which will be individually wrapped,” she said.
Other precautions are being taken in area districts to prevent the spread of germs that could lead to an outbreak of H1N1."
