Federal officials now recommend that schools stop closing when a case of swine flu is confirmed at a school, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Tuesday.

Scientists believe the H1N1 virus epidemic is no more dangerous than seasonal flu, and schools should act accordingly, Sebelius said.

“This virus does not seem to be as severe as we once thought it would be,” she said at a news conference at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia.

Sick students should be kept home for seven days, she said, “but the schools should feel comfortable about opening.”
