All schools are closed for Friday, April 24th in DF and Edomex (or at least parts of it) due to an influenza outbreak. No work tomorrow if you work in any private or public school.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico is canceling classes for millions of children in the heart of the country on Friday after influenza killed around 20 people in recent weeks.

Canada's government advised doctors to be on the alert for reports of illness from people who recently traveled to Mexico, although it did not advise against visiting the popular beach vacation destination.

Mexican Health Minister Jose Angel Cordoba said on Thursday schools and universities in Mexico City and the surrounding area would be closed on Friday and advised people with flu symptoms to stay home from work.

"We recommend avoiding places or events with a lot of people unless strictly necessary," Cordoba said.

Mexico's flu season normally ends in February or March, but it has extended longer this year, the government said.

Las Secretar�as de Salud y Educaci�n P�blica consideraron conveniente la suspensi�n de clases en el �rea metropolitana, desde preescolar hasta universidades, ante la incidencia de casos de influenza.

El titular de Salud, Jos� �ngel C�rdova Villalobos, destac� el n�mero de casos, con relaci�n a los registrados en d�as previos, no ha aumentado.

El funcionario hizo recomendaciones a la gente para evitar el contagio.

Entre ellas, mantenerse alejados de las personas con infecci�n respiratoria, lavarse las manos con agua y jab�n, no compartir alimentos, ventilar la casa y las oficinas, mantener limpios los cosas de uso com�n.

The government has closed all schools, theatres, museums in an effort to contain the outbreak.

The US CDC is working with the Mexican government. The WHO is cautioning this could be the start of a major epedemic.
