QUEENS, N.Y. (WPIX) - The Health Department is monitoring an outbreak of flu at St. Francis Prep in Fresh Meadows, Queens, to see if the students may have come down with the swine flu virus. As many as 500 students have reported they were suffering from flu-like symptoms. Some of the students told WPIX they recently visited Mexico. The flu outbreak forced school officials to cancel an event called “International Night,” which was scheduled for Friday night. A thousand people had been expecting to attend.
