The public health of Northern Nevada speaks about the recent outbreaks in several schools in Washoe County.

We tried to receive answers and learned that the number of schools increased on Wednesday afternoon before the school district Washoe County has a slight decline in the school district on Wednesday evening.

From 6:42 p.m. On Wednesday there are four schools in the Washoe County in the break -in status, reported on Wednesday afternoon and five reported on Tuesday.

Two deal with breaks of respiratory diseases, one with gastrointestinal, and one deals with both.

Another 20 classrooms are now in the break status. 15 of them for airways and five for stomach -intestine diseases.

We pushed the school district all day, but they tell us that they will not publish the names of the schools concerned at that time. Northern Nevada’s public health tells us that this is due to Hipaa guidelines. However, they say that the affected families of the schools were notified.

Liliana Wilbert, an epidemiologist from NNPH, says: “In order to protect the confidentiality of schools and families that are affected, we do not share this type of information.”

However, some of those who are connected to the schools concerned have contacted 2 news Nevada to share that affected the schools visited by their children.

In an e -mail from 2 news nevada that was sent to the parents at the van Gorder Elementary School, it says that the school has increased to an increase in the number of students and employees who were not sent home due to diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, sore throat, cough, cough, muscle -difficult and fatigue.

Another e -mail from 2 News Nevada confirms that a MINT night planned on Tuesday was canceled for Van Gorder Elementary and is postponed due to the school’s school status.

Rollan Melton Elementary’s parents turned to 2 news in Nevada about several cases of children who suffer gastrointestinal problems, with more than a dozen being sent home. While the parents reported diseases at Rollan Melton, we were unable to get a termination from the district, which officially named him as a school for an outbreak status.

The Washoe County school district would like to make it clear that if families have not heard of them about their schools, this means that these schools are not affected by an outbreak.

According to Wilbert, the respiratory diseases they see are RSV, influenza and general influenza-like diseases that are reported more often.

The public health of Nordnevada practices its clean -up process for these diseases. This includes the removal of all nearby people, cleaning and disinfection of contaminated areas as well as the storage of sick students and employees of others.

Wilbert says that if your child starts showing symptoms of illness, it should stay at home.

So far, NNPH, regional and not limited to schools. There are 187 RSV cases registered, 36 hospital stays due to flu and 19 deaths due to flu, two of these deaths under the age of 24.
