Update About H1N1-Related Death in Wichita

Posted:

By Eyewitness News (WICHITA, Kan.)

There is new information about a Wichita woman who had H1N1. Eyewitness News has learned she was a teacher for USD 259.

The state health department confirms the woman died Monday and had underlying health conditions.

The Wichita School District says there's no health concern at the school, because she had not been there for two weeks.

We asked the district if it informed parents about this. We're told it's no longer notifying the public of individual H1N1 cases. That started when H1N1 became widespread and the health department stopped testing the general public.
