MEXICO CITY — High schools and universities closed by the swine flu epidemic are reopening across Mexico, with school employees and parents carefully checking each returning student for flu symptoms. The monitoring was being carried out for millions of students returning to high schools and universities Thursday. Primary schools won’t reopen until Monday. All schools and universities were closed two weeks ago in an effort to curb the epidemic. Two youths were turned away at one Mexico City high school because they showed symptoms of swine flu including coughing and nasal congestion. Their parents were notified, and they won’t be readmitted without a statement from a doctor saying they don’t have the virus. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
