A Union City school is being temporarily shut down due to a confirmed case of the H1N1 virus.
Robert Waters Elementary School will be closed for one week, starting Tuesday. The confirmed case was found in a boy who attends the school.
Though parents may be inconvenienced by keeping their kids home, they say it's better to be safe than sorry.
"I'm actually happy they're taking precautions," says Tanya Contrares, a student's mother. "It's better that they let us know what's going on so we can take the necessary precautions."
